The Iran deal

We gave them the money and sanction relief too early.

Don’t worry Trump will get a better deal once he puts an end to the Korean War.

Er, Lucy. Iran took the deal because it wanted to end sanctions. The threat of restarting sanctions was the way to enforce the deal--along with intrusive and unannounced inspections. Five other countries, Israeli intel, and the IAEA also agreed the inspections were adequate to the job. It was working just fine for three years. Even Trump certified Iran was holding to its bargain.

Who disagreed? Netanyahu, Trump, the Republicans and Saudi Arabia.  Not the most credible group.

I think you have not read the JCPOA.  You haven't, right? You read some articles on the Daily Wire and listened to a Trump speech.

Why would the impatient and ignorant Trump get a "better" deal? Why would Iran work with a deal breaker? Isn't it MUCH more likely he will bluster until he commits us to yet another war in the Middle East, against a country three times the size of Iraq and not divided between Shia and Sunni?
