The US Senate has passed a non-binding bill calling for any agreement with Iran related to its nuclear weapons program to be addressed, and those proposals could complicate fragile negotiations on the nuclear deal.

With Democrats little control of the House and Senate, Republicans took advantage of some of the proposals to evaluate President Joe Biden's efforts to return to the Iran nuclear deal, and won support and approval from some Democrats.

Senators voted 62 to 33 in favor of a motion that seeks to prevent the Biden administration from removing the Iranian Revolutionary Guards from the list of terrorist organizations, an obstacle to reviving the nuclear deal.

They also voted 86 to 12 against a motion that argues that imposing terrorism-related sanctions on Iran is necessary to limit cooperation between Beijing and Tehran.

scenarios and possibilities

For its part, the US State Department said that the United States is now preparing equally for a scenario in which there is a simultaneous return to compliance with a nuclear agreement with Iran or for another in which there is no agreement.

"Given that a mutual return to compliance with the JCPOA is a highly uncertain proposition, we are equally prepared for either event," State Department spokesman Ned Price told a news briefing.

It is noteworthy that under the 2015 agreement, the United Nations and several countries lifted economic and military sanctions on Tehran, which "invested tens of billions of liberated billions in supporting and financing activities destabilizing security and stability in the region," according to Gulf and US officials.

But the United States withdrew from the agreement in May 2018 by a decision of its former president, Donald Trump, who re-imposed "maximum pressure" sanctions that prompted Iran to work hard to develop its nuclear program, as Western and Israeli officials believe that Tehran is close to possessing its nuclear weapon. .

It is noteworthy that Western officials have largely lost hope in the possibility of reviving the agreement that former US President Donald Trump withdrew from.
