Biden will no longer support UN sanctions against Iran
This is being "reported" by a dishonest press that what Biden is doing is simply a reversal of a Trump policy, when in fact it would appear a little more complicated than that. According to previous UN agreement, there had been sanctions in place against Iran that included an arms embargo against the number one terror state in the world. According to the 2015 Iran Nuclear deal, those sanctions were to come to an end in late 2020. Trump obviously pulled out of that deal (largely for that reason) and made attempts within the United Nations to keep the sanctions in place. Trump's move was met with resistance and a failure to secure the necessary UN votes, with many countries simply abstaining.
Of course, the only two countries to vote against the US proposal was China and Russia.
The ironic part of all of this is that this decision comes on the heels of UN inspectors uncovering more evidence that Iran is not following their agreements in terms of enriching uranium (for nuclear reasons). So apparently just when it turns out that Iran is not following their agreement, rather than actually keep sanctions in place (or even increase them in response to UN findings), the Biden Administration will agree to let them expire. Apparently this is being done in hopes that Iran will sit down and "negotiate" with the U.S. to get them to do what they have already agreed to do previously (but are not following).
If this makes sense to anyone, I would love to hear the reasoning. But it looks to me as if the Biden puppet Administration is simply attempting to do the opposite of Trump whenever possible, even when doing so puts them on the same side as China and Russia. It's almost as of the Obama administration (and now the Biden administration) for some reason wants a dominate Iran (allied with China and Russia) controlling the Middle East and bringing back the anti-Israel terror that had mysteriously or miraculously gone away while Trump was our President.

Same is true for Biden ending a program aimed at sexual predators in the US illegally. 18 attorneys general sent him a letter. But all that matters is reversing whatever Trump put into place.
I don't believe he's doing it to reverse course by the former.
Iran has become a lot less fundamentally Muslim than it was when they overthrew Ayatollah Khomeini, and captured the Americans. Jimmy Carter lost the election, largely because he didn't handle the crisis. The Iranians released them the day Regan was sworn in.
I think that he is trying to get some support from younger people and divide the government of Iran.
If we reenter the agreement, we and our allies will be able to investigate their attempt to refine uranium,and perhaps get the Iranians to cooperate, in order to get more sanctions removed.
It looks like he's listening to experts, instead of acting like the former.
An idiotic conclusion from an idiotic post by Lil Schitty!!!!!! Seems to me all you do is bitch and moan at everything D anyway.....I would say we all should wait and see what really happens before making more stupid commentary on baseless guesses!!!!!!!
A real expert, not me.
Iran’s distinct demographics don’t just affect the regime, however. They have also helped shape the complexion of the country’s opposition forces.
Today, there can be said to be at least two distinct waves of Iranian opposition. The first, older one is grounded in the generation of expatriates that left Iran in the waning days of the Pahlavi monarchy, or shortly after its collapse. These exiles made their way to places like southern California (which now boasts the largest Iranian ethnic community outside of Iran itself) and established themselves politically and financially while continuing to agitate against the clerical elite they believe hijacked their fatherland. The second, newer strand is comprised of younger political activists within the country, who are chafing under the religious constraints that have been imposed by the ayatollahs over the past four decades. And while there is considerable interplay between the two groups, there can be little doubt that the latter represents the center of gravity in the contemporary fight against the Iranian regime.
Yet what this cohort actually believes is unclear. “The bulk of the opposition within the country is actually unorganized and atomized,” Golkar explains. “When something happens, they come out into the streets. But much of this is spontaneous, even if different groups try to claim credit for it afterwards.”
That description eloquently captures the duality of Iran’s protests, which – at least when seen from the outside – seem simultaneously to be both organized and spontaneous. “The organized opposition is mainly external to Iran,” says Golkar, while protest forces within the country itself are far more fluid. “The majority of Iranians exist in a ‘gray area.’ They aren’t active supporters of the regime or active opponents of it,” but rather swing toward and away from identification with the regime “like a pendulum,” depending on the circumstances.
That, however, is beginning to change. There is now “mass discontent and frustration visible in virtually every sector of Iranian society,” Golkar confirms. “Almost everyone is angry or disaffected.”
Young activists like Amir Etemadi hope they can capitalize on this shift. Although relatively new, Etemadi’s group, which is formally known as Iran Revival (Farashgard in Farsi), has become a notable player in the persistent protests that have rocked Iran since 2018. An outgrowth of student activism in Iran’s universities over the past two decades, Farashgard’s goals – as outlined on its website – are the “non-violent overthrow of the Islamic Republic and to establish in its place a secular democracy that safeguards each Iranian’s human rights.” The organization does not have a cohesive ideology, and encompasses activists who identify as monarchists as well as those who believe in more republican forms of government. Even so, it exhibits strong support for Iran’s former Crown Prince, Reza Pahlavi – something that Etemadi insists simply reflects popular sentiment within the Islamic Republic, which views Pahlavi as both a “transitional figure” and an emblem of secular order.
Structurally, Farashgard is modelled after Serbia’s Otpor movement, which was active in the 1990s and early 2000s and contributed to the eventual downfall of the dictator Slobodan Miloscevic. Much like its Serbian predecessor, Farashgard is a network made up of small groups of activists in various cities throughout Iran, where they are active in carrying out acts of civic disobedience as the opportunity arises. The network’s activities are coordinated by a leadership core of some 20-25 individuals in the U.S., Canada and Europe, which helps to promote and amplify the activities of its cadre of young activists inside the country, with the ultimate objective of generating a groundswell of dissent big enough to sweep Iran’s ayatollahs from power.
It is precisely this sort of organization and activism that so terrifies the country’s aging clerical elite. Iran’s leaders understand full well that the ideological bonds that once tethered at least part of the country’s population to the idea of an Islamic Republic have eroded over time, replaced by an urge for greater freedoms among younger Iranians. They have also grasped the notion that their preferred form of government could end up becoming the biggest casualty of the demographic shifts now taking place within the country.
Ilan Berman is Senior Vice President of the American Foreign Policy Council in Washington, DC.
I try to remain objective when I look at political issues.
Scott, seriously, if he achieves an elimination of the nuclear weapon program in Iraq, it would be historical success.
I'm not going to say he will achieve it, but it could save millions of lives

Ilan Berman is an expert on security in the regions of the Middle East, Central Asia, and the Russian Federation. In his collection of articles and new writings titled Tehran Rising: Iran's Challenge to the United States, he contends that with the revolution led by Iyatolah Khomeini, Iran initiated an Islamist war against the United States decades before the events of 9/11. Berman writes of an "informal accord" between Iran and al Qaeda and of Iran's nuclear weapons program, which he says includes many sites and the capability to produce enriched uranium sufficient to manufacture fifteen to twenty weapons a year. Berman suggests steps that should be taken to diffuse Iran's nuclear threat, including the multinational Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) and closer ties with Russia. He also suggests that regime change could be accomplished based on the fact that most Iranians are young, poor, and pro-American.
When I do research I don't depend upon Breitbart or so many others because they are not objective. They have an agenda .
Cue the insults LMAO at you Scott

4: Withdrew from the Iraq nuclear limitations with our allies.
5: Fell in love with the President of Russia.
Etc. Etc. Etc.

Flags flying outside two homes in Plymouth proclaim in stark — and some have complained, vulgar and inappropriate language — the residents’ rejection of the November election results and President Joe Biden.
About a half mile apart in the town’s Terryville section, both banners hang below American flags and state in bold, white letters on blue background, “Fuck BIDEN,” and below that, in smaller type, “And fuck you for voting for him!”
Today officially marks Biden’s first month in office, so far he has:
-Excused human rights violations by the CCP as “cultural norms”
-Allowed biological men to play in women’s sports
-Forced our military to sleep in freezing parking garages
-Spent 483 million in taxpayer dollars to keep the Natl guard in Washington DC
-Said minorities are too stupid to use the internet
-Put migrant kids in overflow facilities (aka “put kids in cages”)
-Raised gas prices by cancelling the Keystone Pipeline
-Put us back into the Paris Climate Accord
-Rejoined the WHO (who is tied to/covers for China)
-Lied about the COVID vaccine supply
-Started having Kamala make head of state calls for him
-Rescinded the “1776 commission” geared toward pro-America curriculum
-Hired the most useless press secretary our country has ever seen
-Normalized double masking
-Played Mario Kart
