'Biden not in control of Iran talks,' former senior US State Department official says: Gabriel Noronha, who was tasked with Iran policy at the State Department under Trump, warns current deal will see world powers roll back far more sanctions in return for far less from Iran. A deal could be signed "today," he says. In a conversation with Israel Hayom, Noronha emphasized the lack of trust in the man leading the US negotiation team in Vienna, Robert Malley, and said US President Joe Biden wasn't calling the shots in the talks. According to Noronha, delegation members are very worried about the deal on the table, which he said was "very dangerous" for US national security as well as regional security. He noted Congress would not have the opportunity to review the details of the accord and would not be able to do anything about it. According to Noronha, the coming Iran nuclear deal will be "far weaker and far more dangerous than the original accord" signed under former US President Barack Obama in 2015 as world powers have agreed to rescind far more sanctions while "asking far less" of Tehran in return. Noronha's criticism is aimed at senior Biden administration officials and US Special Envoy to Iran Malley, who is conducting the nuclear talks in Vienna, in particular. A number of senior delegation officials have quit the team in protest of the White House's approach to the talks. One of the officials to walk out was US Deputy Special Envoy to Iran Richard Nephew. Describing the resignations as "shocking," Noronha said another two delegation members had dropped out of the talks in late 2021 out of concern over Malley's approach. Noting it was "unprecedented" for delegation members to quit in protest of leadership, Noronha said a lot of people at the US State Department believe Malley is a weak negotiator who is damaging US national security. Asked why Biden was insisting on signing a deal, Noronha said, "I don't think Biden" is in control of the talks. "He's focused on China, on Russia, and on domestic" issues. "I don't think he's giving it a lot of attention" but has rather delegated authority to Secretary [of State] Blinken and Malley. "I don't think he's making the decisions. I think Malley is making them," Noronha said. Hope this works. From Facebook, about ultrasounds and abortions: It played for me. Great video!
