Opinion | HayesBrown: What we've seen from Washington and Tehran is a bit of a dance, in which each side insists that the other go first before returning to the deal's limits. That's ridiculous on America's part. We left first. We should return first.

American diplomats can't avoid that, yes, the situation is the U.S.'s fault. The International Atomic Energy Agency had continually certified thatthrough 2018. There was never any justification for withdrawal aside from"we want more," which goes against the basis of good-faith negotiations.

The Biden team has said it wants the U.S. and Iran back to where things were in 2018 — at least."We want to get Iran back into compliance. The United States knows that, in order to get back into compliance, it's going to have to lift those sanctions that are inconsistent with the deal," Robert Malley, the U.S.

. That revocation should come with the message that the clock is ticking for Iran to do the same, through decommissioning centrifuges it has spun up or reducing the stockpile of enriched uranium it has produced since 2018 or both.As written, the JCPOA's scope is limited to Iran's nuclear program, offering global sanctions relief for Iran's rolling back its atomic development. That annoyed American hawks by inconveniently allowing the U.S.

Since before the deal was signed, critics of diplomacy with Iran have advocated against any U.S. relief without. That would include severing ties with militias in the region, ending its ballistic missile program and wrapping up its proxy wars against Arab Gulf states. Which is exactly the sort of one-sided ask that allows hawks to continue arguing that diplomacy can't work.

HayesBrown This is one of the best accomplishments in world diplomacy! Leaving this agreement was Trumpski’s worst action of his whole term! It showed the world his stupidity and ineptness!
