DOHA, Jan 28 US President Joe Biden won't rule out a military solution to the differences in relations with Iran, a White House spokesman told Al-Hadas Arab TV channel on Friday.
«President Biden will not rule out choosing military methods against Iran,» he said.
According to him, the US president «wants to return to an agreement on a nuclear deal, but the time is not right» and «negotiations with Tehran are not a priority for Washington at the moment.»
In 2015, the United Kingdom, Germany, China, Russia, the United States, France and Iran signed a nuclear deal — the JCPOA on the Iranian nuclear program, which involved the lifting of sanctions in exchange for limiting Iran's nuclear program. However, in May 2018, the United States under Donald Trump withdrew from the JCPOA and reinstated sanctions against Tehran, including on Iranian oil exports. In 2019, they decided to impose secondary sanctions on individuals and companies involved in the sale of Iranian oil.
