US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has claimed Iran will have enough fuel for nuclear weapons in weeks, which means any deal with Iran may be pointless.
Trump may have been proven right in this regard.
Israel has suggested that Iran are 6 months away from having enough nuclear fuel, and press reports suggest that Israel may go it alone and attack Iran, as they don't believe the US (under Biden) will do anything.
all of these despots will have their way with Bedtime Biden in charge. I'm surprised North Korea hasn't resumed their missile launches yet. They were afraid of Trump, they point and laugh at Biden.
Tough to believe anything that comes out of Israel although at some point they will be right:

It is worth remembering, however, that Netanyahu has said much of this before. Almost two decades ago, in 1996, Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress where he darkly warned, “If Iran were to acquire nuclear weapons, this could presage catastrophic consequences, not only for my country, and not only for the Middle East, but for all mankind,” adding that, “the deadline for attaining this goal is getting extremely close.”

The void left by Biden's temporary arms ban to Saudi Arabia, could easily be filled by Russia and possibly China.
Whilst the Saudi's aren't exactly the people we should be selling arms to, the bigger picture in relation to increased Russian and even Chinese influence in the region.
The Saudi's are also Iran' main adversary, and the dynamics of the region may also be changed as a result.
The void left by Biden's arms ban to Saudi Arabia, will no doubt just be filled by Russia and possibly China.

They weren’t afraid of Trump.

You think that influence didn’t already there? Guess we forget they play both sides of the coin. All the hijackers had Saudi passports, no?
They want American weapons because they’re better but will take whatever. Doesn’t really matter either way. Despite how much the US has invested in their military it is absolute trash and Iran could steam roll them.
Rawr rawr rawr Trump didn’t start any wars!
To waaaaahhhh! Why hasn’t Biden invaded Iran yet?!?!

is that why Obama/Biden approved selling the Saudi's 155 billion dollars worth of weapons?
1. We've been hearing this for decades
2. I hope they do. they America would leave them alone. Think of all them money and lives that will be saved because we are not nation building there.

I am not a Trump supporter however Biden does have a dismal foreign policy record and he has simply put in place Obama's foreign policy team, the same one that was often inconsistent in it's response to the 2011 Arab uprisings and their aftermath, as well as the conflicts in Syria, Libya and Yemen.
Whilst I welcome trying to solve the problems through an arms ban on Saudi Arabia and dialogue with the Iranians to try and prevent them from producing nuclear weapons, there is a strong possibility that this will simply invite Russia and China to exploit the US position, whilst Israel is no fan of Biden, and may take more independent action against any perceived threats.
