On Saturday, Zero Hedge<\/a> reported that the Biden administration restored sanction waivers for Iran’s civilian nuclear program. The idea was that restoring those waivers would pave the way for a nuclear agreement with Iran. Those of us with a more cynical viewpoint see restoring the waivers as the Biden administration negotiating with itself in order to get Iran to the negotiating table.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The waivers mean any foreign countries, including Russia, China, and countries in Europe, that work with Iran on its nuclear program cannot be targeted by US sanctions<\/span>. The waivers are an aspect of the JCPOA and were rescinded by the Trump administration in 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

The waiver is a hopeful sign for the JCPOA. Negotiators are expected to return to Vienna soon in what could be the final round of talks, although Iran said earlier this week\u00a0that “significant issues” remain.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Iran hawks were quick to criticize the move<\/span>, and State Department spokesman Ned Price insisted that the waivers were not “sanctions relief.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We did NOT provide sanctions relief for Iran and WILL NOT until\/unless Tehran returns to its commitments under the JCPOA. We did precisely what the last Administration did: permit our international partners to address growing nuclear nonproliferation and safety risks in Iran,”\u00a0Price wrote on Twitter.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

What’s the difference between a civilian nuclear program and a nuclear weapons program? Not a whole lot. Considering the world’s perception of the Biden administration and the strength of America, Iran will probably have a functioning nuclear weapon and the means to deliver it in the very near future.<\/p>\n
