US President-elect Joe Biden has reiterated his position that if Iran reiterates its commitments in the nuclear deal, the United States will rejoin it as a starting point for further negotiations, and remove the sanctions imposed by the Trump administration since withdrawing from the 2018 deal.
"It's going to be tough, but yeah," he said in an interview published today (Wednesday) with Thomas Friedman of the New York Times, when asked if he still holds the position he presented in an article he published on CNN in September.
The president-elect said that despite Iran's missile program and other actions, "the best way to achieve some stability in the region" is through the nuclear deal, signed in 2015, when he was Barack Obama's deputy.

The Biden administration believes that once the two sides return to fulfilling the terms of the agreement, it will soon be necessary to negotiate an extension of the restrictions imposed on Iran - originally 15 years - as well as its missile program and involvement in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen.
Tehran rejects this position, but Iranian Foreign Minister Muhammad Javad Zarif has said that the original nuclear deal can be re-fulfilled in its entirety, without negotiations.
It is also written that Biden's team wants to include in the follow-up talks with Iran not only the original countries that signed the nuclear agreement - Iran, the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany - but also Iran's Arab neighbors, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates .
This time Biden is also interested in including representatives from the region.

Biden said that if Iran succeeds in acquiring nuclear weapons, it will lead to tremendous pressure on Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt to develop one of their own.
"The last thing we need in this part of the world is a nuclear arms race," the president-elect said.
"We will consult with our allies and partners and enter into negotiations and further talks to tighten and extend restrictions on Iran's nuclear program, as well as address the missile program."
He said the United States has always had the option of re-imposing sanctions if needed, and Iran knows this.
