iran, revolutionary gods offer us terrorism list. we'd been clear about what a return to mutual compliance with the g p a would look like. there are issues that the iranians have put on the table that are clearly extraneous to the 4 corners of the gcs away. every time they have done that, we have made very clear that the jcp away is about one thing and one thing only, it's about a runs nuclear program and we're prepared to negotiate one thing. and one moment. while powers have been trying to salvage that deal, known as the j. c. p. o, a iran sign, the agreement in 2015. it was designed to limit to ron's nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief. but in may 2018. then president donald trump withdrew the us, began re imposing sanctions a year later on started ramping up its nuclear program. it's reduced access to

10:10 am
which the u. s. considers to the extraneous to text. first iran, what sanctions lifted on the i r g c or companies associated with the i r g c. second, iraq want some guarantees that even after president biden leaves, the white house you, westfield continued to honor the agreement. and 31 once the i. e, a investigation in to past nuclear activities to the end. and as i said, the u. s. considers each agrees to be extraneous to the agreement and is not prepared to accept any of. so i think it's very much an america's interest to revive the j. c. p away, i think it's in your raj interest as well. so i don't quite understand why supreme leader hon lu continues to procrastinate. whether it's just bargaining tactics or whether he prefers to hang onto it ra, a iran enriched uranium even if it costs to run. tremendous loss of opportunity in
