Russians Announce US-Iran Deal as Tanks Roll Across Europe

The Biden Administration allowed Russia to take control of the nuke negotiations with Iran, as the Russian military was invading Ukraine. Despicable. Shame on the Biden Administration. War in the Middle East in inevitable.

“The terms of the deal remain unknown as the Biden administration has sought to cut Congress out of the deal and prevent it from performing its legally mandated oversight. Under the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015, Congress must give its approval of any new agreement with Iran. While the Biden administration has promised to follow this law, Congress has not been presented with details of the deal or been asked to approve it before the United States signs.”

From Andrew McCarthy: …even as Russia was marshaling its invasion forces, the Biden administration was relying on Russia as its principal intermediary in the negotiations with Iran. It’s doubly humiliating: The president and his envoy, appeasement aficionado Rob Malley, have turned to a rogue for help because the other rogue they are pleading with for a deal won’t deign to negotiate directly with the United States (National Review). From another story: Liberal politicians and media pundits have suggested that America should defund Russia’s energy industry — by purchasing oil from Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism that calls America “the great Satan.” A Biden administration Cabinet official, multiple MSNBC hosts, and America’s taxpayer-subsidized public radio network have all suggested this novel solution in less than a week (Daily Wire). From Nikki Haley: President Biden is negotiating with Russia on an Iran deal as Putin rains down horror on Ukraine and the world. To announce a new deal now would be a monumental mistake and the worst possible message to Iran, Russia, and all of America’s enemies (Twitter). Meanwhile, Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei blames the U.S. for the war in Ukraine (The Hill).

Russians Announce US-Iran Deal as Tanks Roll Across Europe

By Washington Free Beacon, March 3, 2022

A senior Russian official announced on Thursday that a new nuclear deal with Iran will be announced within 24 to 48 hours, signaling the Biden administration’s continued reliance on and cooperation with Moscow even as it wages a full-scale war in Ukraine.

Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia’s ambassador for Iran negotiations, made the announcement in a video now circulating on social media. Ulyanov also said that he does not see the deal falling apart as a result of Russia’s war, and that the two issues remain separate.

Russia has served as the United States’ key interlocutor in the talks even as the Biden administration and Western nations attempt to isolate Moscow as punishment for its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Republican foreign policy leaders in Congress criticized the Biden administration earlier this week for its reliance on Russia in the talks.

The State Department did not respond to a request for comment.

“Russia’s further invasion of Ukraine is reprehensible, but we can’t lose sight of the next national security crisis as it forms before our eyes: The Biden administration is reportedly rushing to finalize a deal with Iran, brokered by Russia, that it does not want Congress to review, in violation of U.S. law,” Rep. Michael McCaul (R., Texas), lead Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told the Washington Free Beacon on Monday.

“Congressional review of any Iran nuclear deal was enacted with broad bipartisan support to ensure legislative oversight of any dealings regarding the nuclear program of the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism,” McCaul said. “If the administration circumvents Congress, that is a blinking red light for the American people that this is a bad deal.”

Iranian officials have also signaled that a deal is all but finished.

Mostafa Khoshcheshm, one of the Iran negotiating team’s advisers, told the country’s state-controlled press on Thursday that “the U.S. has accepted Iran’s conditions to reach an agreement.”

Khoshcheshm claimed that the Ukraine conflict has forced the Biden administration to “retreat” from its tough negotiation stance.

“There are now even stronger indications that the Ukrainian crisis has forced [the] West to retreat in Vienna talks as several [European Union] states have started demanding” that sanctions on Iran’s crude oil trade be walked back, the official was quoted as saying. He also said a deal could be announced as soon as the weekend.
