Satoshi_Nakamoto says. Ah, the good old "nothing can be done, let's take this laying down" argument.Neither is keeping the deal. It was just a speedbump on the Iran's road to owning nukes.
A speed bump maybe the best you can hope for.
Perhaps, but Saudi Arabia has turned the corner. The Prince formally announced they're ditching Wahabism and moving to moderate Islam, complete with actual steps towards reforming away from Fundamentalism
Oh shit, are we back on the brink of nuclear destruction again?
So starving 7 million people to death in Yemen is called moderate islam. Got it. I notce the steps towards reforming include jailing anyone who dissents. More moderate islam. How much funding has MBS cut from extremist run madras schools and radical mosques that act as terrorist recruiting and training stations around the world? Are they reforming away from Fundamentalism also? ROFLOL.

Yes its a very low bar, but that is par for the course for whack job theocracies like Iran and Saudi Arabia.

I guess we will know when trump reveals his well thought out plan of where we go next that I'm sure he has laid out in detail with our allies. I mean no one would be stupid enough to make such a big move without a plan for going forward. Would they?
Is Islam suddenly compatible with our Western Democratic way of life, that prioritizes Liberal values like Liberty and Freedom? I must have missed the memo
What is Trump's endgame strategy here?
What was Obama's endgame?
Whether you agree with the rationale or not, clearly his endgame was buying time.
So, what is Trumps?
US implements sanctions--Joe Q Public in Iran blames the US for their misery under sanctions since it was US that pulled out of deal and US that implemented sanctions
Iran immediately restarts nuclear program daring US to act.
Ah - kicking the can down the road while allowing Iran to become dominant in the Region along with Russia? That is some great time buying right there!
That Soros family just can't catch a break.
Trump has a plan. Severe sanctions on Iran until they cave in. If they start up their nuke program they will be sorry as hell.
The only break they should catch should be on their necks, from a rope, after being pushed off a stool.
Iran was busy building bombs under previous sanctions. This is exactly the reason why there was a deal to start with. Iran has one clear bargaining chip: they can build a bomb until Trump caves in. That's exactly what they are going to do.

Hershey's is better, anyway.
Funny, the same nay-sayers over North Korea are transferring the same Nay Say Talking points to Iran now.
Careful there: nothing has been achieved in NK. For all we know, KJU is leading Trump on a wild goose chase while dividing him from SK.

Probably similar to what he just achieved with North Korea using a combination of credible threats and carrots and ultimately getting them to come to the negotiation table for talks.
Few in Iran blames the USA, they blame the Mullahs. The Mullahs can't even make payments to their rural based militias because they spent it all in Syria, Yemen, Gaza, and Lebanon. People in Iran no longer buy the Mullah's attempts at distraction, and believe they are the obstacle to structural reform.
The goal is incremental disarmament, and the sanctions will disappear in stages. The opposite of Obama tactics, where the goodies are delivered up front but the enforcement dies away quickly.
That sounds like our former North Korea policy.
Maybe a realist foreign policy is better than the previous policies.

Well, we found out Iran kept all it's nuclear bomb research, that the plan all along was to make at least five 10KT bombs (not nuclear power), and that memos said they were just waiting for the inspection regime to expire (which it does over the next few years).
The MSM is deceitfully claiming there's nothing but "Old News" even though they haven't seen the 100,000 docs that make up the raw intel. And other things, because the WH has said they have additional information aside from Bibi's Mossad that shows the Ayatollahs have been lying the whole time.
The Iranian Rial is now 42,000 - does this look like a strengthening economy and regime?
Printing money to prop up Hamas, the Houthis, and Hezbollah is not a winning economic strategy.
