Addressing the Munich Security Conference, he also said his admin- istration is “prepared to re-engage in negotiations” with the UN Security Council on Tehran’s nuclear program. “We must address Iran’s destabi- lizing activities across the Middle East,” Biden said. “We will work with our European, and other, partners as we proceed” Earlier, his administration said it was ready to engage in talks with Iran and world powers to discuss a return to the 2015 nuclear deal.
Hamdan Al-Shehri, a Saudi polit- ical analyst and international rela- tions scholar, told Arab News that it appears there is a tacit agree- ment between the US and Iran about the nuclear issue. “In fact, what we see today is that the US administration is lenient and is giving no weight to its allies in the region,” he said. D Al-Shchri added that the current de US administration is repeating the fo if administration, and warned that this would create a trust deficit be- same mistakes made by the Obama tween the US and its regional allies.
“It will also lead to a nuclear arms di race in the region, as no country of would accept seeing Iran having a nuclear weapon while that country loes not,” he said. “Saudi Arabia, to for instance, has made it clear that tw fIran developed a nuclear bomb, it cl would follow suit the next day.” ev Al-Shehri also criticized the de- ti be liplomats entering the US, which was imposed by the Trump admin- cision to lift a ban .
