Fifty-three Democratic Party leaders have sent a letter to US President Joe Biden, urging him to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal.

They said Monday that they have �strong support� for an initiative in the Biden administration to return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which former President Donald Trump quit.

�Lifting Trump�s bad-faith sanctions - which he explicitly imposed on Iran in order to make a return to the JCPOA next-to-impossible - should not be treated as a concession to Iran, but rather as an effort to restore US credibility and enhance American security,� they wrote as cited The Hill.
