Welcome to Beg to DITER. the Bullworks Weekly Roundtable discussion featuring civil conversation across the political spectrum from center left to center right.

I'm Mona Charon, syndicated columnist and policy editor at the Bullwork.

I'm joined by our regulars, Damon Linker of the Week, Linda Chavez of the Niskanin Center,

and Bill Galston of the Brookings Institution and the Wall Street Journal.

Our special guest this week is Corey Shockey, Director of Foreign and Defense Policy

at the American Enterprise Institute. And thank you one and all.

I'm delighted, Corey, that you could come because we want to talk about what's happening

vis-à-vis Iran.

A lot of people, it's our first topic, a lot of people were wondering whether

Joe Biden as president would resume American participation in the Iran deal of course negotiated by his the man he served as

Vice President that would be Barack Obama so corry I want to come straight to you but

I'm going to I'm going to set it up this way.

Javad Zareif tweeted just today that he was the Iranian negotiator for the JCPOA.

He issued this tweet.

You may have seen it.

Quote, JCPOA cannot be renegotiated, period, if 2021 is. The UN Charter and remove the veto, so often abused by US.

Let's stop posturing, which we both did, 2003 to 2012 to no avail,

and get down to implementing JCPOA, which we both actually signed on to, unquote.

So first question to you, Corey, is we did both sign onto it.

The US pulled out of it under Trump,

but Iran is not abiding by it anymore, right?

Iran is not abiding by it anymore.
