Iran Cheated On Odumbo Before The Ink On The Treaty Was Dry.

Really....do you say that because of the Trump oil embargo on Iran?

Oh wait , there is no oil embargo. Trump is just extending the Obama policy. Which I have no problem with. We should have stabilized relations with Iran long ago.

Nothing to defend...I was for the deal and I'm for Trump not doing any oil sanctions to Iran.

I B, Could you please explain how Obama enabled Iran. Honestly, I don't know nearly as much about this as you, or probably as much as the poster whose name I refuse to mention, because he professes to be a Libertarian when he's only three-quarters Libertarian.

This is my impression. The agreement that Obama and others negotiated appeared to potentially give us 10 more years before they'd have nukes. Given the political and economic situation in Iran, in 10 years we could be in a totally different world. The Revolutionary Guard could be history. We and the rest of the free world may have relatively good relations with Iran. The only real alternative, if you absolutely didn't want them to have nukes, appeared to be a land invasion of the country. Sanctions didn't prevent an economic has been like North Korea from getting nukes and they weren't going to prevent Iran either.

Also you mentioned the money Obama sent to them on a plane. My impression is that this is money that we stole from Iran and were returning.

You can probably poke holes in this, if you're so disposed.

It's simple. Odumbo lied about what he accomplished, and Iran lied about being in compliance. Odumbo ended the crippling sanctions against Iran and paid Iran off with $1.7 billion in cash.

No evidence Iran abandoned nuclear weapons program
Experts say that despite claims and 2015 nuclear deal, there is no evidence Tehran ever abandoned its atomic weapons program.


The material studied by the ISIS team “conclusively shows that the Parchin site did house high explosive chambers capable for use in nuclear weapons research and development.”

The conclusions in the report contradict an IAEA report from December 2015 which stated that the Agency assessed that Iran’s activities at Parchin “did not advance beyond feasibility and scientific studies, and the acquisition of certain relevant technical competencies and capabilities.”

The faulty conclusions of the IAEA were to blame on a lack of access to Parchin and the fact that IAEA inspectors only examined one of the buildings there while the Iranians were allowed to take samples of the ground which were then examined by the Agency in Vienna.

Iran also refused to answer all the questions about Parchin raised by the IAEA.

Iran Was Closer to a Nuclear Bomb Than Intelligence Agencies Thought

If Tehran pulls out of the 2015 deal, it could have a weapon in a matter of months.


Iran would still need to produce weapons-grade uranium. If it restarts its centrifuges, it could have enough in about seven to 12 months.
