Barack Obama had a so-called Iran nuclear deal that essentially did nothing but delay a time frame for the rogue Islamic regime in Iran, which has vowed repeatedly to wipe Israel from the map, to have nuclear weapons.
What the deal did do was turn over billions of dollars to the Islamists, who have sponsored financially multiple terror proxies around the world.
President Donald Trump, during his first term, pointed out the facts and pulled America out of the deal.
Joe Biden could accomplish nothing major during his term regarding Iran's agenda for nukes.
But Trump now has revealed that he's confident a new agreement will be reached soon.
"You probably read today that Iran has sort of agreed to the terms," Trump said. "They're not going to be making any nuclear dust in Iran. And we've been strong. I want them to succeed. I want them to end up being a great country, frankly, but they can't have a nuclear weapon. … And people are getting close to maybe doing a deal."
A report in the Washington Examiner noted that Ali Shamkhani, a nuclear adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had just confirmed that Tehran was ready at a moment's notice to sign a nuclear deal.
That agreement reportedly would allow Iran to enrich uranium only to levels needed for civilian use, not levels needed for weaponry. That would be in exchange for lifting of sanctions, the report said.
Shamkhani, on the topic of those conditions and an agreement, explained, "If the Americans act as they say, for sure we can have better relations. It can lead to a better situation in the near future."
The reported revealed, "His comments are the clearest indication yet of a breakthrough after four rounds of talks among senior Iranian officials, led by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and U.S. officials, led by special envoy Steve Witkoff. The latest round of negotiations in Muscat, Oman, was described by Witkoff as 'encouraging' and Araghchi as 'difficult but useful.'"
Shamkhani did express frustration, according to the report, with Trump's hard line.
"He talks about the olive branch, which we have not seen. It's all barbed wire," he claimed.
There also have been reservations expressed by key members of the Senate. They have criticized Obama's efforts as doing nothing more than allowing Iran "to play for time."
The Washington Examiner noted, "Iran, meanwhile, finds itself in its worst position in decades. Blistering strikes from Israel last year devastated its proxies and allies across the Middle East, including its primary nonstate ally, Hezbollah in Lebanon, which saw its entire leadership killed in Israeli strikes. The sudden collapse of the allied Assad regime in Syria in December removed its foremost ally in the region."
Further, economic conditions inside Iran have been described as "dire."
