When running for the election, Biden outlined ambitious plans to bring America back to the world stage.

US President Joe Biden's handling of Iran and Saudi Arabia during his first month in office has shown that the initial campaign plans and commitments are not always able to survive when the candidate is up.

As he raced into the White House, Biden promised to quickly bring the US back to the Iran nuclear deal.

In his campaign speech in July 2019, Biden made it clear what he wanted to achieve with Iran if he was elected president.

"If Tehran returns to comply with the agreement, I will rejoin and work with my ally to strengthen, extend it, while effectively repel other destabilizing actions by Iran," Biden said at Dai.

When entering the White House, Biden's group continues to hold the position that the US re-join the agreement, Iran must comply with the limits of the Nuclear Development Treaty.

But the US government still opened the negotiation door when accepting the proposal to organize negotiations with Tehran, in which the European Union (EU) was intermediaries.

After days of considering the EU's offer to negotiate with the US, Iran rejected the plan on February 28.

Fontenrose thinks that this is definitely not the scenario that Biden's team is thinking about.

While most experts believe that Washington and Tehran will eventually return to the nuclear deal, what the new US administration has learned is that the best plans still need to be revised.

"The clear strategy Biden put in place in the campaign doesn't come to fruition in the first month of his tenure. We lost the chance to take advantage of the new leverage the Biden team had come to expect," says Kaleigh Thomas, who specializes in the competition.

Not only rejected the negotiating path, Iran also let its proxies launch rockets at the Americans in the Middle East.

The White House hopes the strike will help prevent future attacks by pro-Iran militias, but remains open to negotiations with Tehran.

Another foreign policy issue that makes Biden "disillusioned" is how to deal with Saudi Arabia.

During the November 2019 Democratic debate, when asked if he would punish the top Saudi leader for Khashoggi's murder, Biden explicitly replied "yes".

But when he decided to publish a US intelligence report on Feb. 26, in which Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had approved the Khashoggi murder plan, Biden did not impose any direct sanctions on Crown Prince Mohammed.

The US President and his team seem pleased with what has been done to "correct" the US-Saudi relationship.

However, others said that the reason Biden's group did not punish Thailand for the Mohammed bin Salman test was to maintain the alliance between the two countries.

If the Biden administration targets Thailand to test Mohammed, who will become the king of Saudi Arabia, the United States could destroy the plans on its own.

"We believe there are more effective ways to ensure this does not happen again, while leaving the way for the United States and Saudi Arabia to cooperate in areas of mutual agreement," said Home Press Secretary.

However, editor Ward argues that by not keeping his word on these two important foreign policy issues, Biden has drawn criticism during his first month in office, a period known as a "honeymoon" for general

"They are trying to find harmony between competing interests," said Seth Binder, an official at the Middle East Democracy Project.

Biden is not the only person in the situation "inconsistent post-money" between campaign commitments and the reality of taking power.

"When you get in and everything is new, you need to mess up a little bit and readjust," said Kirsten Fontenrose, the official overseeing Gulf issues in the National Security Council under Trump.
