Is Iran really on Biden's side in West Asia and the US when it is nuclear-armed?

With former US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, the current US President Joe Biden's efforts to return to the system have been met with more headlines than expected. From some angles, the nuclear deal, known as the Comprehensive Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), seems awkward. In an immediate setting, in response to a West-backed resolution submitted to the IAEA, Iran decided to remove 27 cameras overlooking various locations within its nuclear sites, which would have to meet Iran's long-term nuclear ambitions. Washington D.C. And despite recent European-led efforts to renew the talks between Tehran and Iran,
Biden's Iranian special envoy, Rob Maley, highlighted that Tehran has significantly increased its infrastructure to build nuclear weapons, which the agreement was designed to achieve, and to some extent, achieved in 2015 when the same amount was signed. Fairfound Criticism. To this day, however, things stand out quite clearly on the edge.
Sparring on JCPOA
Tehran and Washington D.C. Meanwhile, the main point of contention is the designation of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist entity. In May, Biden decided to put the IRGC on a blacklist of terrorists. US allies in the Middle East - Israel, Saudi Arabia, and even the UAE - have peacefully sought to increase American security in the region to protect them against Iranian movements. The likes of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi have put an end to sophisticated attacks launched by Hothi militants in Yemen, including a long-range drone strike against Abu Dhabi. And the existential sanctuary against Iran and the IRGC, has recently been expanding their covert operations in Iranian territory, targeting its nuclear and military complexes. "Gloves are off," a source close to the Israeli campaign told the Wall Street Journal. Iran recently ousted IRGC chief Hussein Tab as head of the IRGC over Israel's success in defending the country's defense and nuclear program in Iran.
In August 2021, Ibrahim Raisi finally won the election in August 2021 because some observers had chosen him.
From an Iranian perspective, even returning home to JCPOM is not as easy as many people would like to think. In August 2021, Ibrahim Raisi finally won the election in August 2021 because some observers had chosen him. These conservative voices had previously spread their displeasure at believing in America, and Trump justified them. Some believed that a return to the JCPOA could really be easier under Raisi's leadership, as an agreement reached by a conservative leader would have more domestic market in Iran, while the issue of IRGC designation created major competition. For Iran, this is a negotiating point. The competition over the IRGC also sheds light on the mildness of the JCPOA’s original mandate, which is that arms control regime is a variety of parameters,
The potential failure of the JCPOA's return is not limited to US-Iran dynamics. The agreement also includes significant political infusions from China, Russia and Europe. The first major visit to Iran after the US withdrawal was made by China's XI Jinping. And despite Beijing's view of giving Iran a chance to cement itself as a long-term ally from the West, the Chinese do not believe that a nuclear or nuclear race in the region is in their best interests. And Iran’s elites want to move closer to the West on the side of the issue. In March, even after the ongoing Russian war against Ukraine, Washington and Moscow continued to work to revive the JCPOA, during high-intensity diplomatic confrontations. Prior approval of the JCPOA led to the severance of most energy ties with Iran. The oil trade became unpopular,
Financially, the Biden administration is limited by the "Iran Nuclear Deal Consultation and Consent Act of 2021," which prohibits any federal funding to move the JCPOA forward until President Biden proposes a succession agreement to the Senate for his vote and advice.
However, despite the international nature of the JCPOA, Biden's domestic challenges have now been exacerbated by the Ukraine war, most of which use bandwidth. Regardless of the strong regional security anchoring of the upcoming visit of Saudi Arabia and the President of Israel, the price of oil and inflation in the US is at stake with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman calling on Saudi Arabia.
View of Capitol Hill
When Biden joined the JCPO early in his tenure. When it came to its intention to bring the United States back in, there was more to reversing the decision by Donald Trump than to replace the real hurdles with a new nuclear deal with Iran. Many factors have widened this awareness gap. Domestically, Democrats have challenged Biden's path to a midterm election in November this year, which has limited his political curiosity. Although Republicans do not have the numbers in the Senate to block Biden's support for reviving the Iran nuclear deal, their political opposition remains. Financially, the Biden administration is limited by the "Iran Nuclear Deal Consultation and Consent Act of 2021". Which prohibits any federal funding to move the JCPOA forward until President Biden proposes a succession agreement to the Senate for his vote and advice. Most importantly, the chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee has told big political sentiments in the Beltway that the Biden administration must acknowledge that a return to the nuclear deal is not in the US interest.

In the domestic political arena, Washington's challenge is to keep regional geopolitics separate from its original proliferation objectives in Iran's view, rather than the challenges ahead for the Biden administration. Biden's upcoming visit to the UAE and Saudi Arabia will be a challenging backdrop for the JCPOA negotiations, given its previously strained relations with Iran. Iran has also noted the possibility of an Israel-Saudi Arabia-OAA attempt to build Biden's trip. Such a regional axis for Washington could help consolidate its profits from Abraham Accords and the I2U2 or West Asian Quad, but could potentially put pressure on Tehran to expand its trade and strategic options with partners such as Russia and China. China has already shown no signs of reducing oil imports from Iran, and as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov saw in a recent phone call between Tehran and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, the Russia-Iran partnership is on the upward path to resisting Western sanctions. The Iranian counterpart, Hussein Amir-Abdullahian, visited Lavrov the same day, and these parallel outlines shed light on US-Iran tensions.
Conclusion
As things stand, the future of the nuclear talks between the US and Iran is being guided by the WHO-Blinks-First strategy. Iran's demand for approval and removal of safeguards has prompted the United States to insist that the agreement be negotiated and implemented only if Iran "releases additional demands outside the JCPOA." However, it is important to note that the JCPOA was a process that involved more than just the US and Iran. Despite differences with the United States, including China and Russia, other parties would like to see an end to efforts to restart the nuclear deal
