The U.S. envoy for Iran says the Trump administration will maintain its pressure campaign until the inauguration and anticipates it will be difficult for a future President Joe Biden to bring the U.S. back into the 2015 nuclear agreement.
Elliott Abrams spoke to local journalists on Monday during a visit to Israel, which was staunchly opposed to the nuclear agreement.
"It doesn't really matter who is president on Jan. 20 in the sense that there's going to be a negotiation with Iran anyway," Abrams said, echoing the Trump administration's position that the U.S. election results are not final until they have been officially certified.
