Unfortunately, such a tactic only hardened Iran\u2019s will to stall in negotiations and step-up provocation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite repeatedly stating that no sanctions relief would be provided to Iran until Iran returned to the failed Iran nuclear agreement, the Biden administration has reneged on that promise by not vigorously enforcing existing penalties, and, in some cases, abusing waiver and license authorities directly benefiting the Iranian regime and its affiliates,\u201d the report continues, pointing out that the Iranian regime gas launched \u201ca series of nuclear moves that experts consider \u2018irreversible\u2019 in terms of the knowledge needed to move closer to a nuclear weapons threshold capability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, on Thursday U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken <a href=\"https:\/\/www.courthousenews.com\/iran-deal-still-possible-after-modest-progress-blinken\/\">said<\/a> restoring Iran nuclear deal was still possible after he had spoken to European allies. \u201cMy own assessment, talking to all of our colleagues, is that returning to mutual compliance, it remains possible,\u201d he stated, adding, \u201cWe\u2019ve seen, I would say, some modest progress in the last couple of weeks in the talks\u201d in Vienna.<\/p>\n<p>Blinken insisted \u201ctime is running out\u201d to reach a deal with the Iranians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the Islamic Republic ranks as a bona fide energy superpower, the \u2018maximum pressure\u2019 policy of the Trump administration profoundly crippled Iran\u2019s global oil trade. By 2020 its output had declined to a historic low of less than two million barrels a day as U.S. sanctions kept the Iranian regime from selling crude abroad,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/inflation-gives-biden-an-incentive-for-a-bad-iran-deal-oil-nuclear-energy-prices-inflation-jcpoa-2015-sullivan-11642603586\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a> noted.<\/p>\n<p>The Journal explained that one calculation influencing the Biden administration is that if they roll back current sanctions in place, Iranian production of oil would rise, making oil more plentiful and reducing inflationary pressures in the United States. \u201cIt helps explain why, despite Iran\u2019s continued intransigence and regional troublemaking, the White House seems desperate to conclude such a deal by any means necessary,\u201d The Journal wrote.<\/p>\n<p>While Iran has reached a uranium level close to weapons-grade, international nuclear inspectors have been prevented from accessing various sites. Republican leaders claim the Biden administration has \u201cfailed to have the back of these nuclear inspectors as Tehran increasingly diminished monitoring, limited access, and harassed female inspectors,\u201d The Free Beacon writes.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
