1/4 Yes, Iran agreed to the JCPOA. Yes, the Shah was brutal. Yes, the U.S. has made mistakes. All true. But none of that changes the fact that Iran’s regime right now funds terror.. attacks U.S. troops through proxies...destabilizes the region...

2/4 ...and openly calls for the destruction of other nations. That’s not ancient history...that’s this morning’s headline. The idea that Israel is solely responsible for this breakdown ignores Iran’s own pattern of violations...deception...and aggression. Iran isn’t being forced into hostility
3/4 ...they’ve actively chosen it. The JCPOA didn’t collapse because Israel disliked it...it collapsed because enforcement was weak...trust was eroding..and Iran saw an opening to push further.
4/4 Bringing up pre-1979 Iran doesn’t matter. We don’t make national security decisions based on how things were 50 years ago...we make them based on who’s a threat today. And today, Iran’s regime has proven they can’t be trusted with the world’s most dangerous weapons. That’s the issue.
America has no business interfering even if it's for God again, gold oil or drugs. Like every other American invasion worldwide.
What proof is there that they're any more dangerous than Pakistan?
Sorry. That was meant for Jack.
None.Iran didn't harbor Osama bin Laden &even offered to help the US after the 9/11 attacks.I remember that too. I also remember Iran in 2003 was willing to give up its nuclear technology after the US bombed Iraq.Dick Cheney nixed that. I know you remember that, because I do.Cited by NY Times & Wapo
The way it’s panning out, nor can Trump and the US! Trump will cause a domino effect on a global basis!
It collapsed because Trump collapsed it, c'mon
BTW. Israeli generals and if I remember correctly Mosaad were on board. Netanyahu and Israeli hawks were against it. Poor Mr Obama. He tried and against the odds succeeded through Peace mutual respect.
Enforcement was working just fine. Joy Reid was right, Biden should have made this a priority. But Folk like Brett McGurk, Tony Blinken and Amos Hochstein pushed for more. Trump with Netanyahu's blessing tore up the agreement unilaterally. It had little to do with Enforcement. Facts..
And we don't?
