Russian diplomat Mikhail Ulyanov <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2022\/03\/06\/russian_diplomat_iran_got_much_more_than_expected_in_new_nuclear_deal_about_to_be_finalized.html\">praised<\/a> Iranian negotiators earlier this month, saying that Iran \u201cgot much more than it could expect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn agreement to restore the 2015 nuclear deal is nearly complete, but Iran\u2019s demand that President Biden reverse Donald Trump\u2019s decision to designate the IRGC as a Foreign Terrorist Organization is a key remaining sticking point,\u201d Axios <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/us-weighs-deal-remove-irans-irgc-from-blacklist-c4aa21ed-5b57-4be7-bce6-3670a5dac453.html\">reported<\/a>. \u201cThe IRGC is not only Iran\u2019s most feared military branch, it\u2019s also a powerful political and economic player. The terror designation means that even if Biden lifts nuclear sanctions to return to compliance with the deal, criminal penalties could still be imposed on anyone doing business with individuals or businesses connected to the IRGC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report said that Israel was \u201cconcerned about the idea, and in particular, the fact that the U.S. didn\u2019t demand specific commitments from Iran not to target the U.S. and its allies in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No decision has been made yet on the matter as officials claimed that the IRGC would remain on \u201ca\u00a0separate terror list\u00a0and subject to numerous sanctions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration\u2019s handling of nuclear talks with Iran has been the source of much controversy as it has seen numerous U.S. negotiators quit because they said that the administration was being too weak.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cU.S. officials confirmed over the weekend that Richard Nephew, the deputy special envoy for Iran, has left the team. Mr. Nephew, an architect of previous economic sanctions on Iran, had advocated a tougher posture in the current negotiations, and he hasn\u2019t attended the talks in Vienna since early December,\u201d The Wall Street Journal\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/differences-splinter-u-s-team-negotiating-with-iran-on-nuclear-deal-11643059183\">reported<\/a> in January. \u201cTwo other members of the team, which is led by State Department veteran Robert Malley, have stepped back from the talks, the people familiar said, because they also wanted a harder negotiating stance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team has been divided over disagreements on how strictly existing sanctions should be enforced, and at what point it should walk away from the table, as some experts warn that Iran is trying to prolong talks while they continue to work on their nuclear program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe divisions come at a pivotal time, with U.S. and European officials warning that only a few weeks remain to rescue the 2015 deal before Iran acquires the know-how and capability to quickly produce enough nuclear fuel for a bomb,\u201d the report added. \u201cUnder the agreement, the U.S. lifted most international sanctions on Tehran in exchange for strict but temporary limits on Iran\u2019s nuclear work. The Trump administration exited the agreement, seeing it as insufficient to restrain Iran, and the Biden administration is trying to reverse course.\u201d<\/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.
