There’s another reason the Biden administration is going relatively soft on Russia and not sanctioning energy exports. First, they feel they need to pander to the green energy crowd here at home, but second, they also need to keep Russia on board with both climate change goals and the Iran nuclear deal that President Trump pulled the United States out of. On those topics, we still want to have a good relationship with Vladimir Putin.
Fox News’ Peter Doocy brought that up at Monday’s press briefing, and Jen Psaki explained that no one wants Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, except perhaps for Donald Trump, who pulled the plug on the Iran deal the previous administration had fought so hard for.

.@PressSec just accused Trump of wanting Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. The administration refuses to admit the original Iran deal allowed the regime to become a nuclear power over time, and that it never gave up that ambition. A new deal will only strengthen it. Incompetence.

They just don’t know how to tell a truth. Not even one.

Projecting much?

Iran is going to get nukes. Weapons control has never worked. Treaties are only worth the paper they're printed on.

There's your proof. No longer press secretary. Conspiracy secretary.

That’s good.
Her go-to tactic when under pressure, slander but they eat it up. Petty and revealing.

Nice try. If they say it enough, ignorant people will believe it

Why do these people always talk about Trump, Biden has been in charge of this disaster for over a year now.

It must be a fulfilling job to be able to stand at a podium and say whatever you want, claim it’s the truth, ignore reality and then do it all over again the next day.

Should have then asked her what the hell was Kerry doing meeting with Iranian Officials during Trump's Presidency? What did he promise? What are the side deals being made that we weren't allowed to know the first time? Why does this deal not have to be approved by Congress?

Climate czar John Kerry certainly did keep in touch with his contacts in Iran.
John Kerry Is Iran's friend ..I wonder how she keeps up with her lies
— American Daughter (@FedIndependent) March 7, 2022
She continually lies via throw-away lines insulting Trump or Trump policy. How many times has she lied about Trump telling people to drink bleach. She is a horrible person.

On the same day she accused Trump of wanting Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, Psaki accused Florida’s surgeon general of “peddling conspiracy theories.”
