Tehran is ratcheting up its nuclear upgrades to generate a crisis for pressuring the new Biden administration into a hasty deal “without revisions.” Its foreign Minister Javad Zarif rejected president elect Joe Biden’s offer to rejoin the 2015 nuclear pact (JCPOA) with Iran, abandoned in 2018 by Donald Trump, by rejecting its proviso – strict compliance with its terms. However, strict compliance on America’s part is exactly what Iran is after, namely, a verbatim replay of the original 2015 document based on the Obama administration’s strategy, which omitted reference to Iran’s non-nuclear threats to regional stability, such as missiles.
After all, Biden as vice president was part of this strategy. The hardlines in Tehran, who are gaining against the pro-diplomacy faction of President Hassan Rouhani and Zarif, were encouraged to believe Biden would stay in line from a comment he made in an interview on Dec. 1,
While offering to rejoin the nuclear accord with Iran, Biden added: “Look, there’s a lot of talk about precision missiles and all range of other things that are destabilizing the region,” but the fact is, “the best way to achieve getting some stability in the region” is to deal “with the nuclear program.”
Since 2015, Iran, free of restraints, has enhanced its missiles’ lethality, range and accuracy, transforming them into a major tool for asserting its dominance in the region and handing them out to proxies, especially the Lebanese Hizballah, to carry on the work of regional disruption of US and its regional allies’ interests. The Islamic Republic posted its most brilliant brain, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, (who was assassinated last month) at the top of not one – but two – primary national projects: its nuclear weapons program and also its missile development, a pointer to the importance Iran attaches to both.
Last year, DEBKAfile quoted US intelligence experts as revealing that the Sept. 14 destruction of Saudi oil refineries at Abqaiq, the largest in the world, and its main oilfield was caused by high-precision Iranian cruise missiles launched from Iraq – not Houthi drones as widely reported. The kingdom’s oil output was slashed by half in minutes. On Nov. 22, 2020, a single long-range cruise missile fired by Iran’s Yemen proxy, the Houthis, attacked an Aramco facility near Jeddah. In between those attacks – and since – Houthi missiles and drones supplied by Tehran consistently plague neighboring Saudi Arabia.
