Iran Nuclear Deal: Biden Colludes with Russia

Last week in our pages, my friend Victoria Coates, former Trump-administration deputy national-security adviser for Middle Eastern and South African affairs, related that Malley has been collaborating on the Iran negotiations with Russia's lead diplomat, Mikhail Ulyanov.

Later, Iran would get the uranium back from Russia if they decided that the U.S. was not complying with its obligations.

Among the JCPOA's many atrocious features was that, besides merely delaying rather than halting the Tehran regime's pursuit of nuclear weapons, it turned a blind eye to the terrorism that Iran has for decades directed at the U.S. and our allies, especially Israel.

If Noronha is right, those designations and sanctions will now be lifted, even though they are unrelated to Iran's nuclear work, and some of them were in response to activity in which Iran engaged after the JCPOA took effect.

In return, Iran would reap about $90 billion in immediate sanctions relief, and $50 billion to $55 billion in additional revenue from higher oil and petrochemical exports.

On the subject of hostage-taking, the Biden administration would reportedly cause the release of $7 billion in frozen Iranian assets held in South Korea, in exchange for the release of four Americans, and perhaps some Brits, currently imprisoned in Iran.

So ... even as Russia was encircling Ukraine with an invasion force of 150,000, even as Russia continued occupying Crimea and other territories annexed from Ukraine and Georgia, the Biden administration was eagerly confederating with Putin's envoy in order to revive an arrangement with Russia's client, Iran - an arrangement that is a disaster for American national security.
