a reply to: Phage

It allowed monitoring of Iran's nuclear facilities and they were complying.
I think nuclear proliferation is rather important to prevent.

They were inspecting themselves at military facilities and complexes, it was a weak meaningless non treaty that wasn't worth the paper it was printed on.

BS.

IAEA inspectors have daily access. 'Since Implementation Day, the Agency has been verifying and monitoring the
implementation by Iran of its nuclear-related commitments under the JCPOA.' www.undocs.org... March 2018.

Except that US sanctions will be reinstated.

Yes, that's how you twist another country's head in the direction you demand they go in from a position of strength. The US has no reason to appease Iran on this.

Except that the credibility of the US in international relations has been decimated.

WRONG. The credibility of the community organizer who occupied the office previously has been decimated and, and I'm pretty sure this one stings your cheeks quite a bit, the credibility of future rogue community organizer POTUSes who try to convince the world that they can autonimously sign the United States into treaties, agreements, or binding documents has lost all credibility. The US, as a country, just regained credibility as a nation of laws and a nation with a set in stone authority matrix where international agreements are concerned. The community organizer didn't follow the matrix, so the rule of law needed restoration and his chain was posthumously snapped... again.

No harm done. We'll see what happens. Right?

Zero harm done aside from ruffling the feathers of a few million excitable drama queens.

I hear there are calls for Former Secretary of State John Kerry to be arrested for violating the Hatch Act. He's trying to cut a side deal with Iran's leaders.

What kind of side deal can a private citizen make with that terrorist regime? Sounds criminal.

Mueller wants COLLUSION? Investigate John Kerry!

So do I, quite a shame that this UNSIGNED BY IRAN, non-treaty by US law, little more than a community agreement between an individual who now has not one iota of authority or power and Iran document didn't have a single goddamned tooth in it's head to actually prevent Iranian nuclear proliferation.

The Obama administration has disclosed to Congress that this summer's controversial nuclear arms agreement with Iran was never signed and is not legally binding, according to a new report this week.

The State Department made the disclosures in a letter to Kansas congressman Mike Pompeo, a Republican, who had written the department to inquire why the agreement as submitted to Congress in July did not bear the signature of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

'The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is not a treaty or an executive agreement, and is not a signed document,' Julia Frifield, an assistant secretary for legislative affairs wrote Pompeo last Thursday.

Hmm, are we really so flipping naive that we're going to weep for the abandonment of an unsigned, nonbinding, not ratified, handshake deal between two world leaders in front of an audience of smiling morons representing a handful of interested nations? If so, someone resurrect PT Barnum because the man would pass Bezos in net worth inside of a year in this country today.

They're false/misleading claims from Trump. The article goes into it in detail.

The IAEA have had access to Parachin every year, they concluded the investigation last year and submitted no request to inspect this year, hence no inspection. There was no attempt to deny access to the IAEA, declaration by Iran was they can inspect, just not the US over fears it'd be abused for general military spying (as per agreement) .

Legacy the Iranians kidnapped 9 of our sailors then demanded ransom just like Barbary coast pirates used to do. That money Obumo gave them was was supposed money we owed them but in reality was just a ransom what that moron should have done was send in a seal team or delta force to rescue our personally on the down low instead of saying hey you steal our people we will make you rich.

Meh. It was in place and even IDF Generals said it stopped the inevitable for 10-15 years.

We already know what they will do when it's over.

Last night Israel struck multiple locations inside Syria targeting Iranian forces. Iran apparently lobbed some missiles into Israel.
