As prospects for a Biden revival of the failed 2015 nuclear deal with Iran fade, security experts are asking what is Team Biden’s ‘Plan B?’ And it doesn’t really appear that they have one. That is creating huge concerns.

According to Politico’s National Security Dailynewsletter, among those worried about the looming Iran threat is former Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun.

Biegun served as the State Department’s No. 2 during the Trump administration, but he’s a well-regarded figure among Democrats as well as Republicans. He’s not a fan of the 2015 nuclear deal, nor is he a fan of Iran’s destabilizing actions in the Middle East. Still, he says, “there’s not a really very honest debate about what the alternative is to a deal” in U.S. foreign policy and national security circles, and “that is something that all of us bear responsibility for.”

President JOE BIDEN ’s assertion that Iran will not get a nuclear weapon is a “pretty strong statement,” especially if there’s no serious Plan B on the horizon, Biegun said. “If there’s no [deal], then the president is essentially making a threat to end the Iranian nuclear program through the use of force,” Biegun said. “If we’re going to make that kind of threat … there should be a lot more preparation, a lot more organization, to deliver on that.”

What could a Plan B look like? Biegun listed options, such as: greenlighting Israeli attacks on Iran’s program; putting together a coalition of states, including Arab Gulf states, to stand up to Tehran; a fuller implementation of the sanctions-heavy Trump-era “maximum pressure” plan; or other, more covert measures.

“I don’t know what the answer is, but if we’re going to stop Iran from having a nuclear weapon considering how close they are, that’s a pretty important debate that we should be having,” he said.

Meanwhile, Politico also reports that thehead of Britain’s foreign intelligence service (MI6) is ‘skeptical’ that Iran wants to revive the dead nuke deal.

“I’m skeptical that the supreme leader will go for the deal,” Richard Moore, the MI6 chief, told CNN.

While an agreement is on the table and he says China and Russia won’t block the move, Moore added “I don’t think the Iranians want it.”

Hence, what the hell is Biden’s ‘Plan B?’ ADN

  1. Biden has no plan b. He’ll do what ever his handlers tell him to do and so far everything they’ve touched has turned to shit…

  2. [What is Biden’s ‘Plan B’ to Stop Iran from Getting Nukes?]
    Biden’s plan, I think you should have said Obama’s plan… Will Biden’s plan B on Iran be a complete disaster? Absolutely, unless Israel destroys their plans with the first strike…

  3. Any plan – ANY plan from the Befuddled Biden camp is designed from the outset to be an unmitigated disaster.
    Those people have set a new “bar” by which to measure incompetence and stupidity.
    “Against stupidity, the gods themselves struggle in vain!” – Old German proverb

  4. He wants to give Iran money for a deal. They’ll use it build weapons for their proxies and pursue becoming nuke capable, regardless.

  5. He has no fxxxing plan has to check in with China first, Don’t believe biden and the democrats, look no further then their America last policy, China first policy, look at their in power, financial gains, pelosi and family, biden and family, look at the pawns they put on office, look at our open borders and now ” Polio” has returned to the United States, because of biden’s border policy, times for changes America vote them out, keep them out, vote in the mid terms..

  6. By Trump removing the U.S. from the Iran Deal, he seriously endangered both America and our European Allie’s. So, why talk of a Plan B, when we should never have been put in a position even to do a Plan A? This is Trump’s huge international error, and it has landed into Biden’s lap to solve. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, known commonly as the Iran nuclear deal or Iran deal, was an agreement on the Iranian nuclear program reached in Vienna on 14 July 2015, between Iran and the P5+1 together with the European Union. By destroying this international agreement, Trump truly messed up here big time on the world stage!
