Americans Have the Right to Know About Biden's Upcoming Deal with Iran's Mullahs

Is the effective US news blackout about the negotiations with Iran meant to keep the allies and American public in the dark to prevent an outrage that may scuttle the administration's effort to revive the 2015 nuclear deal -- which Iran by the way never signed?

If the Biden administration, like the Obama administration, suddenly surprises everyone that a deal has been reached, will it then be too late for the public to act? Is a return to the nuclear deal the price Biden agreed to for Obama's support before the November 3, 2020 e******n?

The American public has the right to know what sanctions the Biden administration are planning to lift because this regime has been k*****g Americans and taking hostages for almost four decades.

"Last week, Iran's chief diplomat allegedly admitted the IRGC calls the shots in Tehran. Now, Iran releases a f**e video of the IRGC blowing up our Capitol. The Biden admin's priority should be ensuring Iran cannot carry out such an attack, not capitulating by removing sanctions." — US Senator Pat Toomey, Twitter, May 2, 2021.

Since the nuclear talks began in Vienna between the Iranian regime and P5+1, the Biden administration has avoided being t***sparent about what is going on with the negotiations and what exactly is being offered to the Iranian regime.

Since the nuclear talks began in Vienna between the Iranian regime and P5+1, the Biden administration has avoided being t***sparent about what is going on with the negotiations and what exactly is being offered to the Iranian regime -- the one that the US Department of Justice has called the "the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism.

Ironically, it has been easier to get information about the talks from the Russian and Iranian leaders than from the Biden administration. While Iran and Russia, for example, have been saying for weeks that they are progressing towards a deal, the Biden administration, at home and in front of the allies such as Israel, has continued to downplay the possibility of a deal with Iran. Is the effective US news blackout about the negotiations with Iran meant to keep the allies and American public in the dark to prevent an outrage that may scuttle the administration's effort to revive the 2015 nuclear deal -- which Iran by the way never signed? Or is it meant to keep the public and the Congress's guard down to later surprise them with a deal? If the Biden administration, like the Obama administration, suddenly surprises everyone that a deal has been reached, will it then be too late for the public to act? Is a return to the nuclear deal the price Biden agreed to for Obama's support before the November 3, 2020 e******n?

After the Europeans admitted around May 1 that a deal is close to being finalized, the Biden administration finally had no option other than to reveal the t***h on May 8 and acknowledge that a deal is in fact on the way.

The Biden administration has also declined to disclose exactly which sanctions it intends to remove against the Tehran regime. Perhaps the Iranian leaders can tell us? Iranian President Hassan Rouhani surprisingly revealed that "We've reached a point where the Americans and the Europeans are saying openly they have no choice but to lift sanctions and return to the [nuclear deal], and that almost all main sanctions have been lifted and talks continue on some details."

When the Iranian president is saying that the Biden administration is going to lift "main sanctions", they will most likely include sanctions on Iran's banking and financial systems, sanctions on some Iranian leaders and organizations that were blacklisted under the Trump administration, sanctions on Iran's exports including oil and metals, sanctions on Iran's shipping sector, sanctions on trading and doing business with the Iranian regime, sanctions on Iran's commercial airlines which have been engaged in smuggling weapons, sanctions which were linked to Iran's terrorist activities, and sanctions on Iran's human right violations.

President Biden also previously said that he would lift sanctions on Iran to get new nuclear deal, and that he will work with allies to reach a good deal. But it appears now that he is planning to lift sanctions to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. Furthermore, it appears that allies such as Israel or other regional powers have not been included in the negotiations.

In spite of President Biden's having previously pointed out that he wants a longer and stronger deal with Iran compared to the 2015 one, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the potential new deal will likely be the same. Reaching a deal within such a short time frame suggests that no new issues have been incorporated into the negotiations. In addition, the Iranian authorities have been clear that they will not accept a different deal, which might include curbs on its ballistic missile program or address its aggressive foreign policy in the Middle East.

The potential new deal between Iran and the six world powers would most likely include the previous sunset clauses, which set a firm expiration date for restricting Iran's nuclear program, after which the country's leaders would be free to spin centrifuges and enrich uranium at any level they desired. The potential new deal would most likely make Iran's military sites exempt from inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Resurrecting the 2015 nuclear deal would also assist the Iranian regime in rejoining the global financial system and gaining more legitimacy – as well as billions of dollars flowing into the treasury of the regime and its m*****a groups.

The American public has the right to know what sanctions the Biden administration are planning to lift because this regime has been k*****g Americans and taking hostages for almost four decades. This is a regime that, while the Biden administration is offering it sanctions reliefs, recently released a video showing the IRGC blowing up the US Capitol.

"Last week, Iran's chief diplomat allegedly admitted the IRGC calls the shots in Tehran," US Senator Pat Toomey tweeted in response to the footage. "Now, Iran releases a f**e video of the [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] blowing up our Capitol. The Biden admin's priority should be ensuring Iran cannot carry out such an attack, not capitulating by removing sanctions."

The l*****t/liberals knew this was going to happen when they v**ed for Obama's puppet.

The deal not only lifts all the sanctions but include $40Billion cash for supposedly upgrading their oil production.

The Iran Nuclear Agreement & The Paris Agreement are the two largest farces Obama was able to pull.

There are elements within this country that would do everything possible to torpedo diplomatic efforts towards curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions. There are elements outside this country wanting war with Iran, and these elements instigate, fund and encourage the previously mentioned elements.

What moron would show their cards before they're played?

My gosh, I didn't think things could be worse with these people in charge. Who, exactly, is negotiating these deals on behalf of the US? I don't think I've ever been so terrified for the future of our country, and by extension our children and grandchildren. The left has been busy dismantling our education system, our supply lines, our borders, our justice system, our free e******ns and many other things for decades. But this current regime is beyond anything I've witnessed with their blatant anti American actions. I can't think of a thing the current administration has done that is beneficial to the American people, but there have been many things they've done that are detrimental. All as the Republicans keep asking for money to "fight" these things. Which I call BS on, because the only thing I've seen the Republicans, as a group, fight for was to obstruct President Trump's America First policies. Thanks for the good information on another atrocious, anti American Biden disaster....

Seems Democrats never learn. Every person who has ever been bullied know; never ever negotiate with a bully. Find an equalizer and hit back with overwhelming force.

Both deals every nation in the world was in agreement with the exception being Israel. Quit worshiping the bloated orange anus, he is a cancer on nation and world, it is unbecoming even the lowliest Americans.

I talk with many people who express the same sentiments and I am one of them. I was never an O'Biden fan but even so, I never thought he would do so many things that are absolutely insane. I lay most of the blame at the feet of the MSM and big tech for covering these evils up and stopping discussion about them.

Here's the part you ignorant sheep just don't get. Iran is funding Hamas terrorists who are firing missiles into Jerusalem as we speak. Any money we give to Iran will be funneled to the Palestinian terrorists groups. You don't honestly think Iran is going to keep their agreement or refrain from funding anything and everything anti-Israel, do you??

The general public really doesn't need to know many things because they have no knowledge of what's going on. Reading articles on the internet isn't going to give one an education in international affairs or intelligence.

So the question is...how much does the public really need to know without compromising ongoing efforts?

He doesn't care. He's a little troll in his mommy's basement. H**es the U.S. and individual freedom. Doubt if he's ever had a job. Worthless.

son of witless

That is the most elegantly stupid statement I have read in the last minute or so. President Donald J. Trump had controlled Iran's nuclear ambitions by almost bankrupting them. They were not powerful enough to go to war with the US. Your boy Joe like Barry the village i***t is about to turn the flow of money back onto a terrorist, nuclear c***ting, evil regime.

I cannot believe that you believe the crap you are posting. The current violence going on between the Palestinians and Israel is because Iran and it's Chinese and Russian backers, are anticipating the flow of money being turned back on.

I cannot make the explanation any simpler than that. What doncha get ?

He doesn't. He lies constantly and should be ignored by all.
