前国务卿安东尼·布林肯承认，拜登政府的政治考量，包括2022年中期选举，使其推动与伊朗达成更严格核协议的努力变得复杂，他哀叹道“有时政治会阻碍进程”。
布林肯承认，总统乔·拜登屈服于中期选举政治的压力。
“你会面临中期选举：虽然不应该，但这常常是一个因素，”布林肯周二在哈佛大学论坛上对《纽约时报》的大卫·桑格表示。
在唐纳德·特朗普总统和以色列猛烈抨击伊朗的核与弹道导弹野心，包括对多任领导层实施斩首行动之际，布林肯现在“后悔”其政府从未达成官员们所说的原伊朗核协议的“更长更严格”后续协议。

“我希望我们能达成协议，”布林肯说，“我们非常努力地争取那个更长更严格的协议。我认为在不同阶段，我们确实在积极推进。”
“伊朗有时也在回应，有时又退缩，而我们也有自身的限制。你知道，我也承认，有时政治确实会碍事。”
当被追问这是否意味着拜登在选举前不想推进时，布林肯表示政府在寻找“合适的时机”完成协议。但他补充说，即使考虑到政治因素，伊朗“让步不够，使协议不值得达成”。
“那我们做了什么？”布林肯说，“我们实际上继续向他们施压。”

这一承认可能会加剧共和党人的批评，他们认为拜登政府的伊朗策略既受国内政治关切影响，也受国家安全考量驱动。
特朗普表示，在他领导下，由和平特使史蒂夫·维特科夫和贾里德·库什纳领导的政府现在正在为与伊朗的和平寻求新的外交途径，但他补充说，他正在实现其长期目标，即“伊朗将永远不会拥有核武器”。
“他们不能拥有某些东西，”特朗普周一在椭圆形办公室表示，“首先是没有核武器，他们已经同意了。”
“他们不会进行任何浓缩——那些东西都不会有，”他补充道。

“我们现在处于最佳谈判位置，”特朗普说，“我们远超计划进度。”

Blinken admits midterm politics complicated Iran nuclear deal push | Fox News

Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken acknowledged that the Biden administration’s political calculus, including the 2022 midterm elections, complicated its push for a tougher nuclear agreement with Iran, lamenting that “sometimes politics gets in the way.”
Blinken admitted President Joe Biden gave into the pull of midterm politics.
“You have midterm elections: It shouldn’t be, but it is too often a factor,” Blinken told The New York Times’ David Sanger at a Harvard forum Tuesday.
As President Donald Trump and Israel have pounded Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile aspirations, including decapitation strikes on multiple iterations of leadership, Blinken now “regrets” his administration never secured what officials had described as a “longer and stronger” follow-on deal to the original Iran nuclear agreement.

“I wish we had gotten there,” Blinken said. “We worked very hard on getting that longer and stronger agreement. And I think at various points, we were really leaning into it.
“The Iranians were leaning back at other points. They were leaning in, and we had our own constraints. You know, I’ll acknowledge, too, that sometimes politics gets in the way.
When pressed on whether that meant Biden did not want to move forward before the elections, Blinken said the administration was trying to find the “right time” to complete an agreement. But he added that, even accounting for the political considerations, Iran “wasn’t conceding enough to make that deal worthwhile.”
“So what did we do?” Blinken said. “We actually kept the pressure on them.”

That admission is likely to fuel criticism from Republicans who argued the Biden administration’s Iran strategy was shaped as much by domestic political concerns as by national security calculations.
Trump says his administration, led by peace envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, is now pursuing new diplomatic off ramps for peace with Iran, but he added is he achieving his long-stated goal that “Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.”
“They can’t have certain things,” Trump said Monday from the Oval Office. “It starts with no nuclear weapons, and they’ve agreed to that.
“They’re not going to have enrichment — any of those things,” he added.

“We are in about the best bargaining position,” Trump said. “We’re way ahead of schedule.”
