“The U.S. won’t negotiate exemptions to Ukraine-related sanctions on Russia to save the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal and instead would try to strike an alternative agreement that excludes Russia if the Kremlin doesn’t back off from last-minute demands,“ the Wall Street Journal reports.

Such guarantees could undercut the West’s punishing array of sanctions leveled at Russia over the Ukraine invasion.”
