‘Biden's put national security at risk': GOP lawmaker slams president after three of his team negotiating with Iran on nuclear deal RESIGN
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • Republican Rep. Michael Waltz praised the negotiators who have stepped back for 'recognizing when diplomacy is getting too desperate'

  • Waltz has had his own experience in the Middle East as an Army Green Beret

  • State Department official confirmed Tuesday that Richard Nephew stood down

  • He was U.S. Deputy Special Envoy for Iran and known as sanctions architect

  • Nephew, who wanted Biden to take a harder stance against Iran, has reportedly been avoiding the meetings in Vienna since December

  • At the same time, reports emerged that two other negotiators had left

  • It comes at a critical time in negotiations between the West and Tehran

  • Iran has rejected talk of an interim agreement and wants a legal guarantee that the U.S. will not walk away from the nuclear deal

  • It also won't negotiate directly with the US, with European intermediaries

#1 Hey, I've got an idea! Why don't we invade Iran? It's worked so well before, let's try it again.

#2 also won't negotiate directly with the US, [but only] with European intermediaries

The united West, once again stranding tall. But at least Brandon's crew are united.

Oh wait... Oops. Never mind:

U.S. Deputy Special Envoy for Iran and sanctions architect Richard Nephew, who wanted Biden to take a harder stance against Iran, has reportedly been avoiding the meetings in Vienna since December, [has been] stood down. At the same time, reports emerged that two other negotiators had left.

= Shitshow in the USSA

Complete and utter dysfunction. No wonder Putin's toying with Brandon now.

#3 Iran continuously violated the agreement
Even the IAEA says Iran ignores sanctions and treaties
Why are we negotiating with them
It is obvious they are stalling and have no intention of complying with any limitations on their desires to have nuclear weapons
At some point diplomacy does fail and other means are necessary

#5  Why are we negotiating with them

If we don’t negotiate, how can we surrender a second time?
