if the Islamic Republic does not return in good faith to negotiations to salvage the languishing landmark 2015 nuclear deal.

Good faith? They can hardly be blamed for not trusting the U.S. on this.

Those concerns appear to have struck a chord within the administration, which is loathe to appear less than supportive of [the zionist regime].

That seems to translate out as 'doesn't dare' and is absolutely outrageous. And given that the Iranis co-operated fully with and met EVERY obligation, both reasonable and unreasonable, agreed to in the JCPOA and that the 'loathing' AND CORRUPTION so apparent in the trump thugs was ONE reason for America breaking its promise, and the new inability of the zionists to lie about 'threat' was another, we can see that the deck is stacked against Iran whatever it does.

There is no honesty whatsoever here and America is being pressured by intimidation, payoffs, coercion, blackmail, and even murder into doing the zionist's dirty work for them to eliminate a potential rival and block in their expansionist plans. We see the character of the zionists everyday in their treatment of the Concentration Camps in which the Palestinian People are imprisoned and yet, somehow, cannot see what monsters they really are. And perhaps the worst part is that they claim to be "The Jews" just as ISIS claims to be Islam and try to hide among the Jewish People and claim 'anti-Semitism' when their entire program screams of blind, rabid hatred for Semitic Peoples which they are not unless all 'Roman' Catholics are somehow Italian.

American needs to cut these people loose and the sooner the better or many young Americans will be called to die for psychopaths.

It was US that broke the deal. It is US that sanctions Iran. It is not diplomacy to go back on a deal and drive countries into the ground.

At the end of the day, it is pretty much an Israeli issue - so let them deal with it. It is Israel that threatens Iran every day, not the other way round. Israel says they’ll bomb the sites. Fine - I’d like to see it. Israel should walk it like she talks it. Don’t cry to me if, I don’t know, Tel Aviv gets bombed.

That's right. Blame Trump and Israel. After all, the Iranians are all about peace & love, right?

They were already good in grip even without that half-hearted treaty , while there still were military forces at the left in Iraq and at the right in Afghanistan. Now, with that idiotic withdrawal the controlling grip on Iran has been loosened completely. That error is of course much bigger than only having given Kabul to some Taliban.

which former President Donald Trump withdrew from in 2018

Like an idiot.

Same goes for US and Israel.. lol..

When did Iran bring democracy, women rights and racial equality into the forefront?

From the article, you'd never know that it is the US who is completely out of any sort of compliance with the JCPOA, and that Iran actually is in compliance with the terms, because in the case of the noncompliance of the US-EU3 signatories, Iran is allowed to revert to the General Safeguards of the NNPT, which it has not violated.

You'd also have difficulty believing that the only nuclear rogue regime in the ME is Israel.

It is this sort of 'reporting' that makes baseless charges of 'fake news' against 'mainstream media' resonate with the climate change deniers, antivaaxers, antiMaskers, etc

America is at fault for pulling out of a fully functioning and compliant treaty and instituting punitive sanctions for no good reason against one signatory and giving threats to the others (including allies).

Trump screwed the pooch on that one.

And Biden making it worse by not dropping the sanctions immediately and requesting to return to the treaty as originally signed.

Sorry to say that Iran has acted more reliably and honorably than America in this case.

When folks who think Apartheid is democracy start proclaiming that a country where the ENTIRE population votes for and the vast majority of them say the resulting government is an accurate representation of the will of the people, well, credibility is definitely an issue.

This article can be summed up as: US pitches a fit that Iran has stopped honoring the deal the US unilaterally decided it didn’t want to be a part of. Demands Iran return to deal in exchange for nothing.

Iran was holding up its end of the bargain. Then the US decided to toss a grenade into the deal and had the audacity to act shocked when Iran went back to its nuclear program. “I get what I want and you get screwed” might work on contractors building Trump properties, but here in the real world, you don’t get to pull out of a deal and then expect everyone else to still abide by it.
