The strong words come as the U.S. and other nations discuss a restart of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a move that could also increase available funding for proxies like Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<p>One sticking point in discussions with Iran has been America\u2019s listing of Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organization. Iran has argued the group should be removed from the list as a prerequisite for ongoing negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, affirmed his view of the IRGC during a Senate Armed Services Committee meeting earlier in April.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my personal opinion, I believe the IRGC Quds Force to be a terrorist organization, and I do not support them being delisted,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/top-us-general-does-not-support-removing-irans-quds-force-terrorism-list-2022-04-07\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview with NBC\u2019s Andrea Mitchell on April 6, Secretary of State Antony Blinken admitted there are still concerns that could keep plans from moving forward with Iran regarding any nuclear deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not going to get into the details of where we are on the negotiations. I would say simply that I\u2019m not overly optimistic at the prospects of actually getting an agreement to conclusion, despite all the efforts we put into it and despite the fact that I believe we would be \u2013 our security would be better off.\u00a0 We\u2019re not there,\u201d Blinken <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/secretary-antony-j-blinken-with-andrea-mitchell-of-nbc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> during the interview.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
