Blinken Tries To Calm Allies Ahead Of Possible Iran Deal

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is visiting the Middle East to discuss the Iran nuclear deal with officials from four countries.

The current administration aims to reinstate it despite Israeli objections. Blinken emphasized the importance of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, especially in light of Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Additionally, Blinken is working to strengthen relations between Israel and Palestine.
