The administration of US President Joe Biden has acknowledged�that�Trump's �maximum pressure� policy against Iran failed, while itself has so far shown unwillingness to undo the former president's wrongs.

Speaking at a press briefing on Thursday, US State Department spokesman Ned Price said the Trump administration�s maximum pressure policy has failed to achieve each and every single one of its aims.
�I think when you look at the results of maximum pressure, you can only be left with one conclusion,� Price said.
He added, �Maximum pressure was supposed to result in a better deal. It was supposed to cow Tehran and its proxies, it was supposed to isolate Iran from the rest of the world, and it was supposed to leave America�s interests in a better position.�

Price continued to say that in every single one of the issues he raised, the opposite has been true, adding that over the last four years, �we came nowhere close to anything resembling a better deal.�

While criticizing Trump�s failed policy against Iran, he still suggested that the Biden administration will continue to pressure Tehran with closer cooperation with the US�s allies.
�Now, our approach recognizes that maximum pressure accompanied by the lack of diplomatic engagement got us to where we are,� he said. �That is why we are embarking on a different path, one that prioritizes real, principled, clear-eyed diplomacy � clear-eyed diplomacy with our partners and allies.�
Back in May 2018, Trump unilaterally withdrew the US from the nuclear agreement reached under his predecessor Barack Obama, calling it the �worst deal ever�, and vowing to press Tehran into negotiating a new deal through a �maximum pressure� campaign that included tough economic sanctions and military provocations.
