Since President Joe Biden took office, how the West views the threat from the Islamic Republic has changed significantly. Iran now possesses enough highly enriched uranium to build several nuclear devices in a matter of weeks. Tehran refuses to return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), as the nuclear deal is known, despite the White House offering highly favorable terms. The arrival of Iranian kamikaze drones in Ukraine and the news that the Russian military may also soon deploy Iranian missiles highlight not just the depth of the strategic cooperation between Moscow and Tehran but also the severity of the threat Iran’s conventional weapons pose. Meanwhile, the protestors on the streets of Iran’s cities reveal significant vulnerabilities. Despite all the changes, the Biden administration still insists that the JCPOA represents the best way forward. Does this policy still make sense?
