Meanwhile, some Democrats are unhappy as well, pushing back on the idea of seeking \u201ca broader set of concessions from Tehran,\u201d as this may make re-entering the deal harder, the publication noted.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\" data-content-child-index=\"0-0\">\u201cBut fellow Democrats are also warning of an increasingly rocky path back to full Iranian compliance with the terms of the 2015 deal, particularly after recently leaked audio revealed Iran\u2019s foreign minister, Javad Zarif, lamenting the influence of the country\u2019s Revolutionary Guard Corps in his diplomatic efforts with the West,\u201d Politico wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Trump withdrew from the deal in 2018, calling it \u201ca horrible one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made.\u201d Obama pushed back on the former president\u2019s decision, declaring the move \u201ca losing choice between a nuclear-armed Iran or another war in the Middle East,\u201d The New York Times previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/05\/08\/world\/middleeast\/trump-iran-nuclear-deal.html\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly rebuffed U.S. efforts to re-enter the Iran nuclear deal during remarks in front of Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday.President Joe Biden wants &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2312946,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GettyImages-1233098039-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Netanyahu Publicly Rebuffs US Efforts To Re-Enter Iran Nuclear Deal In Front Of Blinken","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-539743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GettyImages-1233098039-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Netanyahu Publicly Rebuffs US Efforts To Re-Enter Iran Nuclear Deal In Front Of Blinken","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539743","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=539743"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539743\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2312946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=539743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=539743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=539743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
