US says it won't ‘waste time’ on Iran nuclear deal
Fox News
The U.S. envoy to Iran said Monday that the Biden administration will not "waste time" on reviving Iran's 2015 nuclear deal amid Tehran's crackdown on protesters and its support of Russia.
Malley’s comments were the closest a Biden administration official has come to admitting it was abandoning its efforts to resurrect the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
Over the summer, Iranian officials rejected an EU proposal and made more demands in late August and early September. Since that time, antigovernment protests have broken in Iran in response to the police custody death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. Morality police detained Amini in September for not properly covering her hair with the Islamic headscarf, known as the hijab, which is mandatory for Iranian women.
At least 270 people have been killed and 14,000 arrested, according to the group Human Rights Activists in Iran. Demonstrations have continued, even as the feared paramilitary Revolutionary Guard has warned young Iranians to stop.
