1. Sadly for the world, he COULD have gotten a deal BEFORE STARTING THE WAR

that he could have sold as better than the JCPOA. I am suspicious that it might not have the very nuanced careful monitoring that Dr Moniz and his team worked out with Iran.

Now, even if they cloned everything from the JCPOA and eliminated all the uranium, rather than leaving a small, not highly processed amount, Iran would still come out ahead. Before the war, a threat to close the Strait of Hormus would not have the affect it will have going forward. They have proven they can do it and no one has been able to stop them and the consequences are known, not speculative.

In addition, the US and Israel were the clear aggressors this time ... no matter how often Trump references 47 years of terror.
