Psaki responded, "Well, I would say that it is not in our interest for Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon."
She continued, "And, Russia is a member of the P5 plus one [The permanent members of the United Nation's Security Council]."
"So, that is pursuit of a deal that would be in our national security interest."
Iran's previous economic sanctions are currently under a waiver instituted on Feb 5 by the Biden administration as talks proceed and multiple nations attempt to reach a global agreement with the rogue terrorist regime which would convince them to not pursue a nuclear weapons program.
However, the talks have been quickly deteriorating as Russia insists on inserting pro-Russian elements into the agreement it is brokering.
