Republican narrative
Words and diplomacy aren't enough to stop Iran. The Abraham Accords, which were championed by Trump, have been a groundbreaking success in creating peace in the Middle East and containing Iran. Biden's naive desire for a nuclear deal with Islamic Republic risks endangering Israel's security and the US's relationship with its Gulf allies.
Democratic narrative
Any threat currently posed by Iran would be far worse should it obtain a nuclear weapon. Trump's withdrawal from the 2015 agreement only made that possibility more likely. Making concessions and pursuing diplomacy are necessary in the interests of wider national security.
