President Biden has been clear in his goal for the US to rejoin the JCPOA in tandem with Iran’s return to compliance. This approach will restore constraints on Iran’s nuclear program. And it will restore America’s credibility within the international community as the Biden administration seeks to build on the Iran deal with further diplomacy to confront Iran’s human rights abuses and actions against allies in the region. Help us show the Biden administration that the pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy movement has their back on this important return to diplomacy.
