God, you’re an idiot and a hack Finally, critics noted (PDF) that even if Iran abided by the agreement (which itself was in doubt), the original JCPOA wasn't a permanent limitation of the Iranian nuclear program, but a pause. The agreement included a sunset clause that meant that key parts of the agreement constraining Iran's enrichment capacity were set to expire in 10 to 15 years. Though the JCPOA required Iran to adhere (PDF) to the Additional Protocol of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and not pursue a nuclear weapon, Iran had also made and withdrawn (PDF)that commitment before. Critics argued that once the JCPOA expired, Iran would be able to drop the Additional Protocol and sprint to develop a nuclear weapon. Consequently, the agreement was not a lasting solution but simply kicked the can down the road. https://www.rand.org/pubs/commentary/2025/05/the-revenge-of-the-jcpoa.html#:~:text=After first trying a series of cyberattacks,Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2015.&text=Critics of the JCPOA noted that Iran,of proxies or other malign activities abroad. More: At the time, most opponents of the JCPOA focused largely on three substantive critiques of the agreement. First, the agreement wasn't “comprehensive.” Although it curbed Iranian uranium enrichment, it did not curb Iran's missile program, the likely delivery mechanism for an Iranian nuclear bomb. Nor did the agreement do anything to roll back Iran's vast network of proxy military forces throughout the Middle East that were threatening U.S. forces and allies in the region. Second, the agreement offered Iran sanctions relief in exchange for its restrictions on Iran's nuclear program. At the time, Iran had tens of billions of dollars sitting in foreign accounts. The JCPOA allowed Iran to tap these funds. Critics of the JCPOA noted that Iran could use this economic relief to nefarious ends, like upping its funding of proxies or other malign activities abroad. At the very least, the release of these funds would help the Iranian regime survive in the face of widespread domestic discontent.

They’re trash. Every single Democrat not named Fetterman. Trash.

Hey Bill…lander……congrats!!! You did it!

Incredible

That’s better suited for a Sabres thread. Would get to 100 pages in a day.

Looks like we should be cutting rates. I know we did that……..SEVEN times right after 9/11. Im sure it’s not political in any way tho.

If this is all accurate - absolutely methodical precision

Summarized - 25 years of Neo con Uni party foreign policy led to Iran today. That one act did more to set back non-proliferation than potentially any single event in modern history, and yet we are told by the same neocons who designed, demanded, and executed it to trust them when it comes to Iran policy. Iraq showed that American intelligence was not to be believed, Libya showed that America and NATO were not to be trusted, and Afghanistan showed that America was not to be feared. These are the fruits of neocon American foreign policy over the last quarter-century. If you want the next twenty-five years to look any different, you’d be well advised to do the opposite of whatever the neocons demand. And right now, they’re demanding war with Iran.

Israel is cleaning house omg

No - it’s the same playbook as 1981 Iraq. Obama siding with Iran over Saudi Arabia - complete disaster

When the IEA says Iran is in violation of the agreement and are indeed enriching uranium what is Israel supposed to do? This has been ongoing the last 3 years. Trump gave them 60 days - 61 days ago.

Lol ok President District Court Just ignore the courts the way protesters ignore the law. Laws are just suggestions in this country.

Or this…

He's absolutely not. Many believe this is happening
