The Iranian nuclear issue has always been the source of conflict between the United States and Iran . Iran had previously reached a comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue with the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, China and Germany, but then the United States unilaterally withdrew from the agreement. , and even restarted and added a series of pressure measures against Iran. This kind of powerful sanctions that ignore the agreements between various countries is obviously unacceptable to Iran. As a result, the United States and Iran "went to court" on the Iranian nuclear issue many times, but they always ended unhappy. Recently, after Iranian President Raisi said that he is not afraid of the US "maximum pressure" policy, Biden began to "increase" the Iranian nuclear issue, threatening and intimidating that he would not rule out the use of force against Iran.. It is worth mentioning that he also criticized former US President Trump .
According to reports from observer website , US President Biden, who is visiting Israel recently, said that the United States will not rule out the use of force as a last resort in response to the Iranian nuclear issue. Moreover, he believes that former U.S. President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal was a huge mistake, which brought Iran closer than ever to possessing nuclear weapons. But Biden said the United States could still reach an agreement with Iran to reduce its nuclear program while taking action against it.
Earlier on the same day, Leahy criticized the United States' "maximum pressure" approach. He made it clear that it is impossible for the United States to use the "language of force" to talk to the Iranian people. The United States should learn from the lessons of the past and not always repeat the failed policy of "maximum pressure" against Iran. It can be said that Biden's statement is more like a threat and intimidation to Iran's attitude.
It is worth mentioning that Iran and China, Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, the countries involved in the Iranian nuclear issue, have previously reached a comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue. The agreement stipulates that Iran restricts its nuclear program, and international countries will lift restrictions on the Iranian nuclear issue. Iran sanctions. But then, then-U.S. President Trump unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear agreement and even added a series of new sanctions against Iran. Therefore, Biden said that Trump’s behavior is the root cause of Iran’s approach to “nuclear possession”.
Objectively speaking, Biden’s statement does mean a bit of “passing the blame”. If Biden really agrees with the Iran nuclear agreement previously negotiated by all parties, he can rejoin it after he takes office to show his friendship with Iran. However, in fact, Biden not only maintained Trump's previous sanctions, but even added additional sanctions in an attempt to use "maximum pressure" to force Iran to submit. It can be said that Biden is actually more radical than Trump in his actions on the Iranian nuclear issue.
At present, it seems that this "maximum pressure" strategy has obviously failed. Biden is threatening Iran with force and passing the blame to Trump. On the one hand, he can maintain the tough attitude of the United States towards Iran. This allows Middle East allies, including Israel, to firmly support the United States; on the other hand, the reason for the US failure on the Iranian nuclear issue can be blamed on the previous government, suppressing Trump's domestic support rate and winning the midterm victory for the Democratic Party. Accumulating advantages in elections.
For Iran, Biden's threats may be useless. The current situation of the Iranian nuclear issue is that Iran has never withdrawn from the Iran nuclear agreement. It is only because of the unilateral withdrawal of the United States that Iran has begun to fail to comply with the provisions of the agreement. However, Iran has repeatedly stated that this is "reversible". Obviously, what Iran wants to see is the attitude of the United States. As long as the United States rejoins the agreement, Iran can be "reversible" at any time and return to the " law-abiding " country.
Moreover, Iran has recently not only submitted an application for BRIC country, but will also become a member of Shanghai Cooperation Organization . Its relationship with Eastern countries has become closer, and it will even join 10 countries including China and Russia. , held military exercises in Venezuela . It can be said that a line of defense has been established in terms of geopolitics, economy and military. If Biden wants to use the threat of force to intimidate Iran, he must also consider the possible consequences.
