Don’t look now: another major geopolitical gaffe by the aging US leader. 

A new video has surfaced of US President Joe Biden saying last month that the multi-state JCPOA Iran Nuclear Deal to limit its civilian nuclear program was “dead,” but that he would not announce his position publicly – while he’s caught on camera declaring it’s dead in public…


The Hill reports…


President Biden in a newly released video declared talks on the Iranian nuclear deal “dead,” signaling an end to negotiations his administration took part in after the Trump administration pulled the United States from the international agreement.


The remarks by Biden were made during a political rally on Nov. 4, but only circulated publicly on Tuesday.


“It is dead, but we’re not gonna announce it,” Biden says in the video, first reported by Axios, in response to a public question.


Pressed on Tuesday about the Biden video, the White House acknowledged that the talks are at a stalemate.


“There is no progress happening with respect to the Iran deal, now. We don’t anticipate any progress, anytime in the near future. That’s just not our focus,” White House national security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters on Tuesday.
