Biden Wants to Reenter Iran Nuclear Deal
(Times of Israel) Amos Hochstein, former U.S. Special Envoy for International Energy Affairs in the Obama administration, who oversaw energy sanctions on Iran and worked closely with Vice President Biden, told Israel's Channel 12 that rejoining the Iran nuclear deal remains high on Biden's agenda. "I believe that in the first months, we'll either see him rejoin the deal fully, or what I would call 'JCPOA-minus,' meaning lifting sanctions in exchange for suspending some of the Iranian nuclear programs [developed] in the past three years." Hochstein says Biden wants "some changes" to the pact, including its expiration date. He also said a Biden administration will "bring back the Palestinian issue to the heart of the discourse."
