President Joe Biden has indicated his intention to rejoin the JCPOA, reviving the historic Iran Nuclear Deal. Donald Trump’s reckless withdrawal led us to the brink of war with Iran on more than one occasion. President Biden must lead us back toward peace, but he only has a limited time to do so. Click here to encourage the president to rejoin the JCPOA immediately and to urge Congress to support diplomacy.
The Iranian government has publicly stated that they will return to the terms of the JCPOA immediately if the US will commit to rejoining it as negotiated. President Biden has an opportunity for a major achievement in the early days of his administration, but he must act now. The Iranian presidential election is coming up in only a few months and the status of the nuclear deal is a major issue in that campaign. The JCPOA must be reentered right now if we are to have peace.
President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken are considering Middle East expert and lead negotiator for President Obama Rob Malley as U.S. Special Envoy to Iran. We need his expertise to get the deal done in time, but war hawks in both parties are opposing him because they oppose the JCPOA. Urge the administration to appoint Mr. Malley and the Congress to support his appointment.
