You really think this is about violations?

I bet you have a picture of Hans Blix hanging in your living room.

The question was not who warned there was no there there before invading/occupying another spoke in the Axis of Evil.
But who are you taking at their word this is a necessary move

My reading tells me Trump installed people that will tell him what Bibi and the Saudis want him to hear.
So yeah, the names are important

Reading pro and con from around the world,
I don't understand what this accomplishes!

any more than what moving the Embassy to Jerusalem accomplished.

Not looking for an argument just an explanation.

Wasn't the original deal completed in an unconstitutional method (shocking I know under Obama)?

That alone was reason to kill it

One of the many reasons but the most obvious one is that even with our misguided kindness of a terrible president Iran continued to kill US soliders.

Prisoners released from North Korea and on their way home.

You guys just don't see it. You soon will....

They were allowed to enrich uranium to a low level before, and it’s not hard to acquire higher levels of enrichment without oversight. C’mon thethe, we went over this

I hope y’all are ready for a less reasonable North Korea. This is exactly what Bush did to them in the early 2000s

It shows Iran that we think they’re bad and don’t like that they support terrorism; it shows Israel that we have their back; it shows other nations that the US is unpredictable.

I think those are the pros of the break but a supporter can enlighten us if there are more that I didn’t mention.

Reasonable reaction by reasonable people. Why should we ever not trust them?

I don’t think anyone here trusted them, which is why some wanted international observers

The 'deal' was suposed to serve as a sufficient deterrant for nuclear aspirations. The fact that they were allowed to continue to enrich uranium completely slaps in the face of what the deal was put in place to solve.

With a 24 day window for preparation?

I'm not relying on people to tell me whether or not Iran is a bad actor. Look to Syria. Look to Palestine.

The name game (D) (R) is your muck to crawl in.

And no access to military facilities.

You really don't get the oversight/inspection angle of this, do you? Or the difference between reactor-grade and weapons-grade uranium.

It was called a nonbinding agreement and not a treaty, so it was constitutional. Considering what just happened I think non binding agreement was fair

Yeah - Like we got 'real' inspections.

[thethe]

Its is absolutely pathetic that you guys are (a) trusting Iran & (b) taking their 'side' in this decision.

You want to get in bed with that regime? Be my guest.

The level of enrichment they had was a sufficient deterrent and could not be used for nuclear weapons quickly and covertly. However, I’m pretty sure it can be enriched quickly and obviously, especially if Russia helps.

So while they are enriching within the legal limits they can become more efficient and specialized in the process. It was a joke of a provision.
