Biden meets with Euro allies in hopes of restarting Iran nuclear talks

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : In a statement issued after their meeting, the four said that they "shared our grave and growing concern" that Iran "has accelerated the pace of provocative nuclear steps, such as the production of highly enriched uranium and enriched uranium metal" -- materials that have no civilian uses.
41% : Biden huddled with Germany's Angela Merkel -- who reportedly called for the meeting -- France's Emmanuel Macron, and Britain's Boris Johnson, a group known as the E3, to consider options as Tehran continues enriching uranium that could be used to make nuclear weapons.
39% : "We expressed our determination to ensure that Iran can never develop or acquire a nuclear weapon," they said.
38% : But the UN's atomic watchdog has said Iran is increasingly violating the terms of the deal -- and talks aimed at bringing both Washington and Tehran back to the table halted in June, when Iran's new president, hardliner Ebrahim Raisi, took power.
35% : Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China and the European Union remained party to the agreement, under which Iran pledged to refrain from developing nuclear weapons in exchange for the removal of economic sanctions.
32% : But Israeli leaders have pleaded with Biden not to rejoin the deal, and Republicans have slammed Biden's intent to offer Iran an olive branch.
31% : President Biden met with the leaders of Germany, France, and Great Britain Saturday for a strategy session on potential nuclear negotiations with Iran amid threatening signals from Tehran.
25% : Biden has promised that the US will rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which President Trump formally abandoned in 2018.
