That's fine but three years isn't a permanent deal. Yeah, Trump withdrew from the JCPOA because of what the intelligence sources were reporting regarding Iran's enrichment activities. Iran APPARENTLY didn't honor the tenets of the agreement ( I wasn't there and don't know the details or the factual truth). I'm not suggesting that some of the motivation for that withdrawal was for completely nonpolitical reasons; Trump likes to be under the lights, granted. We'll never know just how close Iran was to an actual worrisome enrichment level before all this current conflict started. It's difficult to believe all the narratives from both politicians and the media, it's as if sometimes we just have to wait until the shit hits the proverbial fan to know the truth?
You refer to the reported negotiations we've all observed in the past ..what..2-3 months? A very large joke in terms of what we were fed ..extension after extension after extension. We were in the dark intentionally, imo. One question remains..can we trust Iran? There's a lot of evidence showing that we ultimately can't, imo.
I'd do some fact checking on that whole "Trump withdrew because of intelligence sources reporting Iran's enrichment activities.".
Trump campaigned in 2016 on killing the Iran Nuclear deal on day 1 because it was the worst deal made in the history of mankind, or something. Iran by all accounts was complying with the deal right up until Trump threw it out.
Ever since that time Republicans and FOX News have gone on a propoganda-hisotry-rewriting exercise trying to say it was Iran who cheated. Thats complete BS.
