Biden's Refusal to Lift Iranian Sancation -Dalton Willett Blog Post 2

 In an article written by CBS it has come out that Biden will not lift sanctions on Iran until they stop enriching uranium. This fight between the world and Iran to stop their nuclear program has been a hot topic for some time. Biden believes that the sanctions should remain on Iran, and Iran says that they will stop the enriching of uranium once the terms of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal are back in place. The Iranian nuclear deal is a disaster and any attempt to continue that deal, or the revert back to said deal would be foolish by Biden, and dangerous to the rest of the world. The supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei came out with a statement saying that is the terms of the Iran Nuclear deal are reenacted, then they will stop enriching uranium and stop the production of uranium metal that can be used as the core of a nuclear warhead. This of course is just not true. I fundamentally disagree with the idea that we can trust Iran, one of the largest funders of ISIS on the planet with the honor code that if we begin to give them money and meet their demands that they will in turn stop their nuclear program. The Iran nuclear deal is not the solution to this problem, and neither is doing nothing but their has to be a resolution to be found that does not require us handing out massive amounts of money to a country that poses a threat to America and democracy more broadly. In addition to this, it is a fact that Russian, while the Iran deal was in place, was providing Iran with tanks and other weapons of war. Russia is a a third party here but they present an unseen threat by the support they show Iran by breaking the Iran nuclear deal guidelines and Iran does not need anymore help with that considering they have broken this deal in about every way they could when it was actually in place. The solution to this is unclear, I think the Iran Nuclear deal is a disaster and should be abandoned, but I also think allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons is not a good alternative and should be monitored and stopped if at all possible. - Dalton Willett
