US President Joe Biden is under fire from his party mates as he pursues an Iran nuclear deal that could be dangerous since Tehran never complied from the start.
Leading Democratic senators are not confident that the Biden administration could force the Islamic regime to stick to the deal.
Iran has seen how weak the current US president is, and like China, Russia, he's a pushover compared to President Trump, who was not afraid to sanction; the Obama-sponsored deal.
Biden Attempts To Revive Iran Nuclear Deal
According to The Hill, the president is not right to even consider asking the Iranians to agree to a nuclear pact last Monday in a report.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) stresses why Tehran would allow anyone to stop them from developing nuclear weapons. The president is not even really about whether it would work.
The Democrat from New Jersey is among many who the White House ignores despite their stake in it. He added that the administration is not transparent about it; they keep the details or hide something, reported Newsmax.
Menendez added that everyone is kept in the dark about the negotiations, no one knows what to say about it.
Furthermore, should Iran stop its nuclear program and finally admit that it is developing nukes and allow the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) access to sites from which it has been restricted.
Another is if Tehran will stop developing its missile program via the Iran Nuclear deal, but the knowledge is there, so they might choose to go ahead because they don't care about Biden's tough talk.
Menendez also brought into question if it is appropriate to work out a new accord at a time when US dealings with Russia and China, two signatories to the original 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Former President Donald Trump withdrew three years later. They are at a low, particularly given that a new agreement could provide billions of dollars to Russia by allowing it to do nuclear energy business with Iran, mentioned an outlet, cited the Times of Israel.
He added that "if somehow it gives reprieve to Iran and if Russia benefits from it, evidence that would be a problem."
Lawmakers Express Concern
Menendez, along with Maryland Senator Ben Cardin, New York Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, were among four Democrats who voted against the first agreement made by former President Barack Obama in 2015.
Cardin is on the Foreign Relations Committee and second senior member, pointing out how the president has managed to alienate both Russia and China since taking office.
It prevents a strong deal from getting forged later, but Joe Biden is rushing headlong without consultation. Just the same as how America lost Afghanistan but its nuclear arms now.
But other Democrats are defending the decision of the White House on a new nuclear pact with Iran, which they think can be done.
Most Democrats and GOP members think Joe Biden is not on point for another JCPOA or Iran Nuclear deal now that China and Russia are not afraid of the US, which will be a big problem.
