Not really, there is no basis to revive the JCPOA. Iran doesn’t show any interest in holding up its part of the agreement, even if a president reentered the JCPOA.

Oh that’s awful it was so difficult to forge your apparatus for terrorizing the Iranian people.

The US was the one that initiated it regardless, and I think China and Russia’s support for UN sanctions on Iran was incorrect.
Nobody has any reason to trust the United States no matter who is in charge, correct.
