WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Iran had rejected the chance to return to a nuclear deal with the U.S. months ago and he reiterated that a new agreement was no longer a Biden administration priority.
Blinken said the U.S. had the consent of Russia, China and the other original signatories to the 2015 agreement, which President Donald Trump abandoned in 2018.
Iran balked, Blinken added.
