  • State Department spokesperson Ned Price confirmed yesterday that the return of Iran to JCPOA compliance remains the ambition of the Biden administration despite recent pushback from lawmakers.
  • Price: 'So there’s some distance yet to close. It’s unclear if we’re going to be able to get there, but it remains our assessment that mutually returning to the JCPOA would profoundly be in our interest. And we’ll pursue that mutual return as long as it remains in our interest.'
