deal. so the irony of this all is this kind of a crisis manufactured by the fact that first trump pulls out of the deal, then iran, predictably, resumes its nuclear activity, then iran elected a more hard line president earlier this year. this is a different cast of iranian characters than the one who negotiated the 2015 deal. i think what people need to consider here is that if we continue on the current course, without stopping the clock or rolling back that program, the biden team is going to have a very serious foreign policy challenge on our hands in 2022. we have about ten seconds left. would we be in anything like this mess had we stayed in the deal in 2018? no, this is a complete own goal, because all of the progress iran has made is just because donald trump had wanted to moment of pulling out of the nuclear deal, and here we are. everybody predicted this is exactly what would happen, the iranians would restart their program and we would be back in
whether they re serious or not to those world powers that we ve been working very closely with over the years and the u.s. can get a sense from that. another indication is in the iranians get in the room with the u.s. negotiating team as well, that would be a signal that they would meaningful negotiations instead of dragging this out and playing for time. is stopping the clock enough at this point? turning back the clock seems almost impossible, but is stopping the clock, where iran is now in their development of potentially a nuclear weapon, good enough for the united states? is it good enough for israel? and a would we make a deal or allow our allies to make a deal that wasn t good enough for them? stopping the clock is preferable to the direction we re on, which is if iran continues to advance its nuclear program at the pace it s moving at, we re going to face a real crisis in the coming months. now, stopping the clock isn t sufficient to address the concerns that the u.s., isra
sooner, we might get more information about how this virus behaves in the laboratory. and potential to decrease the effectiveness of vaccines. i think it s going to be a matter of weeks or a month to get a good idea in terms of transmissability and clinical features of the availability as well. weeks to a month i think is what we re looking at. weeks to a month. in the meantime, the words of the president, caution, not panic. thank you all. up next, more on this challenging moment for president biden as he tries to get a handle on the rise of the omicron variant and get his party back on track ahead of the midterms. and later, an update from overseas as talks resume between the western world and iran. over trying to resurrect the iran nuclear deal before it s too late to matter. you re watching meet the press daily . so when my windshield cracked. the experts at safelite autoglass came right to me. with service i could trust.
grand jury in d.c. of contempt of congress, mark meadows committed the precise same crime. he thumbed his nose at a congressional season and didn t bother showing up. i think it s time for the house select committee to step up, pull out the stops and hold these people accountable for being in contempt. and we may see another contempt vote in the house coming up pretty soon. tom and glenn, thank you both. i know we ll be talking about both of these cases mr. talks to salvage the nuclear deal with iran is continuing today as the rogue nation continues to increase the stockpiles of uranium. you re watching meet the press daily . they customize my car insurance, so i only pay for what i need. how about a throwback? liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty only pay for what you need. liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty
negotiations is talking to those countries to try to put to the test whether iran is serious about a pathway back to the deal trump pulled out of in 2018. is the best our envoy can hope for is to run into the iranians in the elevator or the gym? what are the best case scenario options that come out of this? i think the best case scenario options are if there s an indication that the iranian side is actually entertaining proposals about how do you sequence a path back to the deal and how do you halt the advance of their nuclear program, since the u.s. pulled out of that deal in 2018, they basically have resumed their nuclear program again and it s reaching dangerous levels in terms of their capacity to develop weapons grade enriched uranium, the kind of material you need for a nuclear bomb. you want to stop the clock on the progress iran is making and then you want a sequence to get back to the kind of restrictions that were in place before the u.s. pulled out of the deal. the irani
