Along with unfreezing billions of dollars and looking the other way at Iranian sanctions-busting, restoring civil nuclear waivers for Iran is just one more step the Biden administration is taking toward reviving a weaker version of the catastrophic Obama-Iran nuclear deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cThe Ayatollah exploits these civil nuclear waivers to build up Iran\u2019s nuclear program with the express intention of eventually developing nuclear weapons to inflict destruction on America and our allies. When he chants \u2018Death to Israel\u2019 and \u2018Death to America,\u2019 he means it. President Trump rightly ended these waivers, and now the Biden administration is resurrecting them. It\u2019s unconscionable, and we need to end these waivers once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ned Price wrote \u201cWe did NOT provide sanctions relief for Iran and WILL NOT until\/unless Tehran<br \/>\nreturns to its commitments under the JCPOA. We did precisely what the last Administration did: permit our international partners to address<br \/>\ngrowing nuclear nonproliferation and safety risks in Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n"},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
