The United States will not lift sanctions against Iran unless the Middle East nation halts uranium enrichment, President Joe Biden said in a recent interview.

Asked by CBS whether the United States would lift sanctions first to kickstart negotiations with Iran, Biden said, “No.” He then gestured in the affirmative when anchor Norah O'Donnell asked whether Iran would have to stop enriching uranium first.
