NEW YORK, 13 July 2022, (TON): When Arab leaders sit down with US President Joe Biden in Riyadh this week, one topic they will no doubt be eager to raise is the threat posed by Iran and how Tehran’s nuclear ambitions can be thwarted or contained.
During his campaign for the presidential nomination in 2020, Biden vowed to re-enter the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, from which his predecessor Donald Trump had withdrawn in 2018 arguing it did not go far enough.
Although keen to revive the deal he had helped broker as Barack Obama’s vice president, Biden said “it needed updating to take into consideration Iran’s malign activities in the region, which analysts say have since proliferated.”
