Iran refuses to negotiate with Biden on terrible nuke deal

 Washington Examiner:

Iran indicated it would not be interested in talks about changing "the terms" of its nuclear deal with U.S. authorities as the United States says, "The ball is in their court."

“Once everybody implements their parts of the obligation, there will be talks, and those talks will not be about changing the terms of the agreement, regional issues, or missile issues. We’re not going to discuss those,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in an interview with state-run media, adding that he needs reassurance from the U.S. a deal will not be withdrawn following former President Donald Trump's move to pull out the Obama-era accord.

During a Sunday interview on CBS's Face the Nation, U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said, “It is Iran that is isolated diplomatically now, not the United States, and the ball is in their court.”

Sullivan added that the U.S. citizens being held in Iranian custody are a top priority in reaching an agreement between the two nations.

"We intend to very directly communicate with the Iranians about the complete and utter outrage, the humanitarian catastrophe that is the unjust, unlawful detention of American citizens in Iran," he said.

...

Biden should keep the Trump sanctions in place.  He would be wise to reject the old agreement as Trump did.  It was one of the dumbest deals in history, to begin with.

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
