Iran Press/ America: “In times of global crisis, America should lead, we should be the first to offer help to people who are hurting or in danger. That’s who we are. That’s who we’ve always been.” former US Vice President Joe Biden said.
“And, in the midst of this deadly pandemic that respects no borders,” he continued, “the United States should take steps to offer what relief we can to those nations combating this virus including Iran even as we prioritize the health of the American people.”
Biden also repeated his criticism of President Donald Trump for the US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran negotiated under the Obama administration. Since withdrawing from that multinational pact in 2018, the Trump administration has ramped up US cruel sanctions against Iran.
Trump’s campaign of “maximum pressure” against Iran “has badly backfired,” Biden said, and “it makes no sense, in a global health crisis, to compound that failure with cruelty by inhibiting access to needed humanitarian assistance.”
“Whatever our profound differences with the Iranian government, we should support the Iranian people,” he added.
