Report: Biden Team Already in Talks with Iran over Return to Nuclear DealDeborah Brand 17 Jan 2021
The Biden administration has already unrolled its plan to return to the 2015 nuclear deal and has begun holding quiet talks with Iran, an Israeli TV station reported Saturday.
Officials for the incoming administration have also updated Israel about the conversations, Channel 12 News said.
A separate report by the Israel Hayom daily said Israel, wary of Biden’s promise to return to the deal, is crafting military options to “undermine Iran’s nuclear efforts or, if need be, counter Iranian aggression, which will soon be presented to the government.â€
The paper also quoted Defense Minister Benny Gantz as saying: “Israel needs to have a military option on the table.â€
President Donald Trump withdrew from the deal with Iran in 2018 and has since imposed crippling sanctions on Tehran.
During the Obama administration, which spearheaded the deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Israel on occasion threatened to act militarily to prevent Iran from acquiring the bomb.
