US claims it favors diplomacy; not Trump's failed policy of "maximum pressure”.

Yet @SecBlinken boasts abt blocking Korea from transferring our OWN money to the Swiss Channel—only used for food & meds.
Repeating the same policy won't yield new results.

Rouhani also said that if the US returns to the deal, Iran will too & that there will then be “better days for you & you will experience a better situation in the region.”

He’s significantly tying a JCPOA return to Iran playing a more constructive role for the US in the region. pic.twitter.com/fBbgzrKkeM
3. Don’t take my word for it. This is what Wendy Sherman - Trump’s Dep Secr. of State - said about it in 2019: I “would be shocked if Iran agreed to a meeting without some sanctions relief.” Sherman was right then and she is right now.>>

-Blinken: “original sin of president tearing up Iran deal that was working”
-Biden on sanctions relief: “it’s right & humane thing to do”
Odd that they don’t follow own advise. If only there was a word for saying one thing but doing another https://t.co/4BnCQtPtwi
In fact, it's the #Biden administration that has been moving in the wrong direction, refusing to acknowledge that the current impasse is ENTIRELY the result of our unilateral abrogation of the #JCPOA and the current POTUS' refusal to reduce or stop any sanctions. https://t.co/ZDV9sleFNf

If you pretend the last 4 years didn't happen, that US didn't pull out of "the agreement," didn't reimpose sanctions, didn't blackmail the world into abiding by sanctions, didn't drone a top Iranian general, then this argument would make sense.

The Biden administration called Iran’s bluff early. It should continue to play the strong hand it was dealt, writes @jaredkushner https://t.co/SNk0q8LbSb

I can't emphasize how instrumental @nimaelbagir has been for spotlighting US complicity in #Yemen. In 2018, her investigation linked the bomb that killed 40 schoolboys to @LockheedMartin. Her new investigation is showing how famine in Yemen is caused by the US-backed blockade. pic.twitter.com/AjVnMAeULe

Romney says US policy on Iran is supposed to make example of Iran for rest of world that pursuing nuclear weapon will hurt. Does he realize the message we've sent to the world is agreeing to curb nuclear work hurts & best path is North Korea not Libya (or Iran)?

— President Biden (@POTUS) March 12, 2021
The US violated an international agreement and inflicted massive amounts of damage on the one party that remained technically in the deal and American journalists are treating Biden like a conflicted Hamlet on what to do next. This is state propaganda. https://t.co/S6134DTjTr
