The Threat of Iranian Nuclear Weapons
When the United States imposes sanctions, they are what are called secondary sanctions. Everyone has to adhere to them, not just the sanctioned country. That's international law. The Trump administration decided to pull out in radical violation of the Security Council resolution. Europe is trying to get out of this somehow. There are secondary sanctions imposed on Iran illegally, no just occasion. It's considered the framework for discussion. If the US were a law abiding state, which of course it's not, Biden would just come in and say, we're returning to the joint agreement. Not even thought about, not even discussed, not even considered an option.
