Editorial: Biden must undo Trump’s original sin on the Iran nuclear deal

LA Times  

President Biden has said that the U.S. will rejoin the Iran nuclear agreement if Iran strictly complies with its terms. President Biden must make it clear that his administration is willing to move quickly to lift the sanctions reimposed by Trump if Iran agrees to return to full compliance with the agreement. During the campaign, Biden said that the United States would rejoin the Joint Comprehensive Plan if Iran returned to strict compliance. But the best way to engage Iran on these other issues is to undo the original sin of Trump’s repudiation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan — so that Iran has no excuse to violate it.
