Biden is beginning to make concessions in response to #Iran's nuclear extortion: U.S. on Thursday withdrew a Trump assertion that all UN sanctions had been reimposed on Tehran. Biden will dub this a mere "signal" rather than sanctions relief. BUT...1/3
UN arms embargo on #Iran expired in October 2020, according to the majority of the UNSC, which ignored the appeals of U.S. allies and partners in the region. Does Biden have a plan on how to extend that embargo, which nearly the entirety of U.S. House wanted extended? 2/3
Also what does this mean for related Trump EO & sanctions? It remains unclear whether it will be enough to convince #Iran not to curtail inspections. Some will argue this is just an administrative, perfunctory move on paper, insisting on Khamenei's call for actual action. 3/3
