Republican presidential candidates are casting blame on President Joe Biden and his administration for Iran’s increase in uranium enrichment capabilities. They point to the original nuclear agreement to draw a contrast with the current situation. They also criticize Biden for not imposing sanctions on Iran, but instead offering to talk with the country and return to the nuclear agreement.
The United States and Iran are working on a prisoner exchange deal that will also address issues of Iran’s nuclear program. The prisoner swap is reportedly part of a larger deal that could help improve relations between the two countries as well as open negotiations on the nuclear program. The details of the deal have yet to be confirmed and negotiations are still underway.
