The Energy Report: Tightening The Noose – Investing.com

The Biden administration is starting to realize that their policies of engaging and appeasing Iran have failed. The administration’s desperation to get back into the flawed 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which was meant to rein in Iran’s nuclear program in return for loosened economic sanctions, only has allowed Iran to become more of a disruptive force in the region. The deal failed to rein in Iran’s missile capability while helping fund their activities in Yemen, Syria and other places.

The Biden administration retreated from Trump-era policies of getting tough on Iran and isolating the country in favor of begging the rogue regime to come back and deal while they looked away as Iran openly ignored US sanctions and supported attacks on Saudi Arabia by Houthi rebels. All of that appeasement seems to have failed as hardline Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has laughed off the overtures and the US says that Iran is not serious about getting a deal.

So now another shift back towards Trump-era policies warning that they will crack down on those that facilitate Iran’s cheating. In A Wall Street journal exclusive, it seems that the Biden administration is to tighten sanctions enforcement.
