Who believes the United States wouldn't remove Iran's Revolutionary Guards from its foreign terrorist organization blacklist to get the Iran Deal, raise your hand /s

Israel Urges US Not to Drop Terror Designation for Iran's IRGC
The United States was considering such a move, a source familiar with the matter said on Wednesday, in return for Iranian assurances about reining in the elite force and comes amid efforts to revive a 2015 deal under which Iran limited its nuclear program in return for relief from sanctions.

Israel's prime minister, Naftali Bennett, and foreign minister, Gabi Ashkenazi, said in a joint statement they "believe that the United States will not abandon its closest allies in exchange for empty promises from terrorists."

On March 14, 49 of 50 Republican U.S. senators said they will not back a new nuclear deal between Iran and world powers

In a statement, the lawmakers said that Democratic President Joe Biden's administration might reach a deal to weaken sanctions and lessen restrictions on Iran's nuclear program

They also pledged to attempt to reverse an agreement that does not "completely block" Iran's ability to develop a nuclear weapon, constrain its ballistic missile program and "confront Iran's support for terrorism"

WASHINGTON D.C.: Forty-nine of 50 Republican U.S. senators say they will not back a new nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, underscoring their party's opposition to attempts to revive the 2015 accord.

In a statement earlier this week, the lawmakers said that Democratic President Joe Biden's administration might reach a deal to weaken sanctions and lessen restrictions on Iran's nuclear program.

They also pledged to attempt to reverse an agreement that does not "completely block" Iran's ability to develop a nuclear weapon, constrain its ballistic missile program and "confront Iran's support for terrorism."

Tehran denies attempting to develop nuclear weapons.

The only Republican member of the Senate who did not sign this week's statement was Senator Rand Paul, who, in an emailed statement, said, "Condemning a deal that is not yet formulated is akin to condemning diplomacy itself, not a very thoughtful position."

Reached under Democratic President Barack Obama, no congressional Republicans supported the 2015 nuclear agreement between Tehran and major powers, which limited Iran's uranium enrichment program, in exchange for a lifting of international sanctions. Some Democrats also objected.

The 2015 Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act (INARA) gives Congress the right to review an agreement, but lawmakers are unlikely to be able to terminate a deal after failing to do so in 2015, even when Republicans controlled Congress.

Democrats now hold slim majorities in both the House of Representatives and Senate and are unlikely to turn against Biden in sufficient numbers.

The 2015 accord fell apart after Republican President Donald Trump withdrew from it in 2018, but talks resumed after Biden became president last year.

Attempts to reach a new deal failed after a last-minute demand by Russia, now in conflict with the West over its invasion of Ukraine, forced a pause in talks in Vienna, despite having a largely completed text.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Iran's foreign ministry stressed that Washington must make a decision to seal an agreement.
