Yeah, this is the deal that saw Obama give Iran pallets of cash, removed sanctions which allowed it to get more cash for terrorist operations, and would let them obtain nuclear weapons in 2025 or 2031, depending on your reading. Oh, and
Iran Formally Announces It Will Continue Violating the Nuclear Deal
The Iranian government announced on Sunday that its systematic violations of former President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), will escalate to their logical conclusion with the removal of all limits on uranium enrichment.
“By taking the fifth step in reducing its commitment, the Islamic Republic of Iran eliminates the last key operational restriction it faced under the JCPOA, which is the limitation imposed on the number of centrifuges,†said a statement from Tehran.
Iran discarded the nuclear deal in a series of “steps†intended to pressure the Europeans into making massive financial concessions to protect Tehran from sanctions imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump after he withdrew from the JCPOA in May 2018.
Based on the headline, I thought Breitbart’s John Hayward would highlight that Iran was already breaching the JCPOA prior to Trump withdrawing the U.S. Heck, even before Trump became president
Iran Breaches the Nuclear Deal and UN Resolutions for Third Time
Iranian leaders have breached both the resolutions and the nuclear agreement for the third time since the nuclear deal went into effect in January 2016. Iran has repeatedly test-fired, long-range ballistic missiles and laser-guided surface-to-surface missiles.
That’s the HuffPost on 5/15/2016. Who was president then? Trump wasn’t even the GOP nominee
Iran once again exceeds a nuclear deal limit: IAEA report
Iran has exceeded a soft limit on sensitive material set under its nuclear deal with major powers, the U.N. atomic watchdog said on Wednesday, hours after Donald Trump – who has strongly criticized the agreement – won the U.S. presidential election.
It is the second time Tehran has surpassed the 130 metric tonne threshold for heavy water, a material used as a moderator in reactors like Iran’s unfinished one at Arak, since the deal was put in place in January. It had 130.1 tonnes of the material on Tuesday, the watchdog said.
May not seem like much, but, Iran isn’t really trying that hard to use nuclear for power. They have one reactor operational, and two supposed upcoming. But, their plants do not really use heavy water: their nuclear weapons research plants do.
But, hey, let’s keep railing at Trump for whacking stone cold terrorist Suleimani.
