In a joint news conference Tuesday in Moscow with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced that Russia has received written guarantees from Washington that Western sanctions on Russia over Ukraine will not affect cooperation with Iran related to the 2015 nuclear deal.

“We received written guarantees,” Lavrov said. “They are included in the text of the agreement itself on the resumption of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on the Iranian nuclear programme.”

Russia has insisted as recently as March 5 that it had the “right to free and full trade, economic and investment cooperation and military-technical cooperation” with Iran—even with nuclear weapons programs.

Even though the Biden administration hinted just one week ago that such action was unacceptable, State Department officials appear to have changed their tune.

U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price told reporters, “We, of course, would not sanction Russian participation in nuclear projects that are part of resuming full implementation of the JCPOA.”

In other words, Joe Biden caved again. This time, though, BOTH Russia AND Iran will likely get everything they ask for, to the detriment of both Israel and America.

Iran has steadfastly demanded that Washington remove all sanctions, including human rights and terrorism-related sanctions imposed on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in 2019.

Lavrov also said that trade between Iran and Russia has recently grown to more than 4 billion dollars, as he announced a forthcoming bilateral trade agreement between two of the United States’ archenemies. Such a deal will increase Iran’s capabilities giving Iran plenty of fresh cash and trade that will provide more resources and expertise to hasten Iran’s nuclear warfare program.

For his part, Iranian Foreign Minister Amirabdollahian declared, “Russia will stand with us until the end of talks to reach a good, stable and strong nuclear deal.”

That deal, of course, was negotiated by Russia and only enables Iran.

Lavrov noted that Moscow is looking forward to finalizing the new Iran Deal “as soon as possible.”

Joe Biden is expected to deliver the final Russian-negotiated Iran Deal to Congress within just days. We have little time to act in order to save Israel from the ayatollah’s Russia-negotiated gateway to nuclear war.
