Joe Biden Is 'Arrogant' and 'Totalitarian' Like Donald Trump, Iran General Says

Iran's military is continuing its public relations assault on President Joe Biden, as Iranian leaders try to pressure the White House into lifting crippling economic sanctions as a prelude to reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear deal.
Iranian armed forces spokesperson Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi on Friday blamed the U.S. for regional instability, as Tehran's proxy forces continue attacks against American and allied targets.
The simmering conflict involves several regional nations, including Israel, which The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday has been attacking Iranian shipping, and Saudi Arabia, which is under escalating attacks from Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.
"In our view, there is no difference between Biden and Trump," Shekarchi said according to the state-run Fars News Agency, echoing complaints from Iranian leaders that Biden has failed to lift the sanctions imposed by his predecessor after the U.S. withdrawal from the JCPOA in 2018.
Iran has said it will not scale back its nuclear program in line with JCPOA rules until U.S. sanctions are lifted, but the White House has demanded an Iranian nuclear drawdown before easing any measures. Though both sides have said they want to revive the JCPOA, the stalemate over who takes the first step has left the situation at an impasse.
Shekarchi dismissed the U.S. as an "arrogant, oppressive, and looter regime," arguing that "Biden's taking office will not create any difference in the totalitarian policies of Americans.
