President Joe Biden said in an interview with an Israeli TV station that an elite Iranian military unit would remain designated a terrorist group by the US, even if that means he can’t secure a return to the multinational deal intended to restrain Iran’s nuclear program.
He also said he wouldn’t rule out US military action to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon “if that was the last resort.”
