Also: it is hard to make the argument “orange man bad” when Biden had four years to reimplement the JCPOA.

He didn’t.

Why?

Because Israel had veto rights over his presidency. They were the final arbiter of US policy.

I don't think another JCPOA-type deal was possible after Trump pulled us out of the first one. We gave up leverage and went back on our word, so why would Iran do another deal with us?

It appears that Israel is still the final arbiter of US policy, given how the last week has played out.
