Rouhani also said that if the US returns to the deal, Iran will too & that there will then be “better days for you & you will experience a better situation in the region.”

3. Don’t take my word for it. This is what Wendy Sherman - Trump’s Dep Secr. of State - said about it in 2019: I “would be shocked if Iran agreed to a meeting without some sanctions relief.” Sherman was right then and she is right now.>>
简单地说,拜登当局的外交政策只是表面上与淳朴(美国前总统Donald Trump,人称特朗普或川普)当局有异,实质是一样的,这证明拜登是个保守派,是美国现有利益的维护者,高调人权只是高调,实行起来得看是否与美国利益相违背。拜登当局还尤其怕在国内被人指责自己软,一软就不是男子汉,有失美国国威,对中俄伊三国(加上委内瑞拉)的严厉比前任有过之无不及【4,5】,而且是全方位打击,也是要证明自己比淳朴当局更强硬。这种动用美国国力来对美国的敌人做出全面、致命性的打击,逼敌就范的行为,是为了显示美国的强大还是掩盖要自己过去十几年,尤其是过去四年渐渐形成的的弱势【6】?对于全世界,美国过去十几年,从2007-2008世界经济大危机开始显示的衰退,尤其是过去四年出现的美国历史上的转折点,大家有目共睹,想收也收不回来,可拜登不但反复强调“咱美国回来了(America is back)”,还不遗余力强调“是回来当老大(America’s place at the head of the table)”,国安主任更宣讲“美国优越性是变了,但美国优越性还在”。现实呢?现实是桌子变了,以前是方的,现在是圆的,没主没次,坐在桌子四周人也变了,没有矮人一截的了。
-Biden: “Trump walked away, not #Iran”
-Blinken: “original sin of president tearing up Iran deal that was working”
-Biden on sanctions relief: “it’s right & humane thing to do”
Odd that they don’t follow own advise. If only there was a word for saying one thing but doing another https://t.co/4BnCQtPtwi
In fact, it's the #Biden administration that has been moving in the wrong direction, refusing to acknowledge that the current impasse is ENTIRELY the result of our unilateral abrogation of the #JCPOA and the current POTUS' refusal to reduce or stop any sanctions. https://t.co/ZDV9sleFNf

If you pretend the last 4 years didn't happen, that US didn't pull out of "the agreement," didn't reimpose sanctions, didn't blackmail the world into abiding by sanctions, didn't drone a top Iranian general, then this argument would make sense.
The Biden administration called Iran’s bluff early. It should continue to play the strong hand it was dealt, writes @jaredkushnerhttps://t.co/SNk0q8LbSb
"Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I'd like to return to my previously scheduled remarks about the emphasis the Biden administration places on human rights" https://t.co/CCYcgv43sb
I can't emphasize how instrumental @nimaelbagir has been for spotlighting US complicity in #Yemen. In 2018, her investigation linked the bomb that killed 40 schoolboys to @LockheedMartin. Her new investigation is showing how famine in Yemen is caused by the US-backed blockade. pic.twitter.com/AjVnMAeULe
Romney says US policy on Iran is supposed to make example of Iran for rest of world that pursuing nuclear weapon will hurt. Does he realize the message we've sent to the world is agreeing to curb nuclear work hurts & best path is North Korea not Libya (or Iran)?
The US violated an international agreement and inflicted massive amounts of damage on the one party that remained technically in the deal and American journalists are treating Biden like a conflicted Hamlet on what to do next. This is state propaganda. https://t.co/S6134DTjTr
