Cruz is an alarmist idiot, but anyone who thinks Iran's nuclear program is peaceful needs to consider that nuclear power plants use 3.5% enriched uranium, and Iran has been enriching uranium to 20% since 2010. JCPOA didn't happen in a vacuum, but nuclear winter will counteract global warming.

20% is a long ways from weapon grade enriched Uranium. 3.5% enriched uranium is on the lower end of the scale for most reactors.
