(AP Photo\/Alex Brandon, File)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>\nUPDATED 9:09 AM PT \u2013 Monday, February 8, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Joe Biden said the U.S. will not lift Trump-era sanctions on Iran until it stops enriching uranium. He confirmed that in an interview with CBS on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2018, President Trump pulled out of the <a href=\"http:\/\/Iran%20Nuclear%20Deal\">Iran Nuclear Deal<\/a> and imposed strict economic sanctions on the regime. He argued the Ayatollah regime was not following through on the deal to discontinue its nuclear weapons program and a better agreement needed to be reached.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, the Biden administration has signaled it wants to rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal. Meanwhile, Iranian leadership has claimed it\u2019s \u201cAmerica\u2019s responsibility\u201d to lift sanctions before Iran will resume compliance with the nuclear agreement. Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif made those remarks during a Sunday interview.<\/p>\n<p>Although Iran acknowledges it broke some of the agreement\u2019s terms following U.S. withdrawal under President Trump, it maintains the U.S. is responsible for the deal\u2019s failure. In an echo of previous ultimatums issued by other top Iranian officials, Zarif took a hard-line stance by asserting it\u2019s the U.S. who must make concessions to reestablish the agreement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do not buy the horse twice, you put yourselves in our shoes,\u201d stated the foreign minister. \u201cYou agreed to a deal, you agreed to give and take, you agreed to sacrifice certain demands that you had because you agreed not to deal with certain issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The controversy comes amid growing pressure on Biden to declare whether he will seek to rejoin the deal despite reports indicating Iran continues to enrich material that could be used in production of nuclear weapons. Critics of the deal have said its terms did not do enough to prevent Iran from developing nuclear capabilities and sanctions should be renewed.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2368141\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2368141\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2368141 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AP21038375799983.jpg\" alt width=\"1024\" height=\"709\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-2368141\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">FILE \u2013 In this Dec. 16, 2020 file photo, by the official website of the office of the Iranian supreme leader, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei speaks in a meeting with the family of Revolutionary Guard Gen.

(Office of the Iranian Supreme Leader via AP)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Amid the emerging stalemate over the nuclear deal, Iran\u2019s supreme leader issued an ultimatum to the Biden administration. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei took to Twitter on Sunday to condemn the U.S. for not lifting sanctions on Iran in order to resume denuclearization talks.<\/p>\n<p>Khamenei claimed the enactment of sanctions on Iran under President Trump signals the decline of American power, adding \u201cthe post U.S.-era has started.\u201d In an interview Sunday, he echoed remarks by other top Iranian officials while noting a return to the agreement\u2019s terms would only come following concessions from the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey did not fulfill their JCPOA agreements at all, they temporarily removed some, not all, of the sanctions for a very short period of time in the beginning,\u201d stated Khamenei. \u201cThen they went back and they even increased the sanctions\u2026they increased the number of sanctions by two to three times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Iranian state media has described this as the country\u2019s \u201clast word\u201d on the deal, signaling an unwillingness to negotiate on the regime\u2019s part. Although Iran maintains it\u2019s not pursuing the manufacture of nuclear weapons, reports indicate the country has significantly ramped up its uranium enrichment program.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/trump-administration-anti-trafficking-office-had-incredible-impact\/\">Trump administration anti-trafficking office had \u2018incredible impact\u2019<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE \u2013 In this Friday, Feb. 5, 2021, file &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1892879,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3620,3823,4937,5036,5795,4324],"class_list":["post-120840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden","tag-iran","tag-lift","tag-sanctions","tag-until","tag-wont"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120840\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1892879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
