From the article I posted:
“ But even the most cursory examination of the deal reveals that it resolves nothing. On the contrary, it permits Tehran to keep everything it needs to build a nuclear bomb, even including, for example, the secure bunker dug deep under a mountain near Fordow. Designed to shield Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities from attack, Fordow’s sole purpose is military in nature. We know this with certainty thanks to the nuclear archive that the Israelis captured in a Tehran warehouse in 2018. What’s more, the deal permits Tehran to make advances in its weapons program—by, for example, developing advanced centrifuges—even while its nuclear activities are still formally under international restrictions.
The upshot is this: By 2031, under the terms of this supposedly excellent deal, Iran will have a major, unfettered nuclear weapons program.”
Damage? Huh! The “Damage” that has been done is to the US relationship with Israel and Saudi Arabia which have big problems with Iran.
I suppose Paul would rather be friends with a regime that is supportive with Putin & Xi rather than ally like Israel, which is the Bulwark vs all aggression in the Middle East. Strange Bedfellows you prefer Paul.
And finally there is this from the article:
“
Among themselves, America’s allies wonder how such a crackpot idea (of the Iran deal & American Unexceptionalism) ever became the guiding concept of American foreign policy. Senior leaders in both Israel and the Gulf have told me personally that they find the Biden team’s policies incomprehensible and its explanations of those policies fundamentally incoherent, if not dishonest. In quiet voices in Tel Aviv, Israeli leaders are now talking about when, not if, they will have to take major military action to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.”
The “Deal” was badly designed from the start and based upon faulty assumptions. Iran will do what it does. It never stopped developing nuclear, just went underground.
Paul you are dead wrong
