Iran Press/America: US President Joe Biden could potentially express his intention to return the United States to the Iran nuclear deal when he addresses the Munich Security Conference on Friday, a source who consults with the US administration told Diplomatic.
Biden is supposed to virtually address the global security conference on Friday (Feb. 19) at about 11:15 A.M. Washington D.C. time. He is also due to attend a virtual meeting of the G-7 world leaders hosted by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Friday, which will be focused on the global response to Covid-19.
The expert source said the new US administration appears to be in a holding pattern on its Iran policy, and he fears that short of Biden issuing an executive order on his intention to return to the Iran nuclear deal and issuing some economic measure to demonstrate his intentions, it would not be enough to get Iran to suspend its plans for reducing its cooperation with the IAEA on Feb. 23.
Jeff Rathke, a former State Department official and expert on German-US relations, said the German government is eager to work with the Biden administration on trying to preserve the Iran nuclear deal, which former US President Donald Trump quit in 2018.
The National Security Council did not immediately respond to a query on whether Biden would address his intentions on the Iran nuclear deal when he speaks to the Munich forum on Friday.
