US President Joe Biden said on the sidelines of a recent election rally that the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran is “dead,” but the US would not formally announce it, according to a video that surfaced on social media late Monday.
The video was recorded during an election rally in Oceanside, California. Biden is seen in a short conversation with a woman who attended the rally and who asked him to announce that the Iran deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), is dead.
Biden responded that he would not “for a lot of reasons" before adding, “It is dead, but we are not gonna announce it. Long story."
The woman replied that the Iranian regime doesn’t represent the people to which the President replied, “I know they don’t represent you. But they will have a nuclear weapon that they'll represent.”
Biden’s comments followed indications that the indirect talks between the US and Iran to revive the 2015 nuclear deal are stalled.
Iran in September announced it had submitted its comments to the US response to the European Union’s draft for reviving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
