    One wonders what Republicans in Congress—let alone the international community—will think of Trump’s latest concession. If a final peace deal between Iran and the U.S. doesn’t have any restrictions on the country’s nuclear program, it will be effectively worse than the 2015 JCPOA agreement with Iran.

    Everything Obama or Biden did, he just has to do it worse.

      Everything Obama or Biden did he says was dumb or horribly done because he didn’t personally enrich himself by holding parts of it hostage or using parts of it to harm others and then extort them, and then inexplicably get into business with them later in some land development deals. Every time he says Obama did something stupid, it means he’s going to destroy it, rebuild and rebrand it and make himself and his buddies money off it, expecting his buddies to wash some of the govt proceeds used in the deal to funnel to himself and his family.

    After months of insisting that the purpose of the war was to get rid of any nuclear capability, demanding “zero enrichment,” Trump is now saying that the country can use nuclear power for electricity.

    Nuclear power generation, not nuclear weapons.

      The point is that the electric is cover for the military use of Uranium. Or so was the logic of previous foreign policy.

      To be clear, I’m just a messenger here. Not saying its right.

        Which previous foreign policy? Obama agreement had inspections and clear limits to enrichments. And it worked.

    This whole situation guarantees Iran races towards nukes in the future. There is no other lesson in all this for them. You can’t negotiate with the US or Israel, you can’t trust them. The stockpiled 60% heu is going to end up in bombs. Funny because they only had 3.6% uranium for fuel under the jcpoa, but now they have 60% heu and massive stockpiles of it - and $300B from US taxpayers.

      And Ukraine.

      “So if we give up our nukes you’ll recognise our territory and protect us against the russians?”
      “Sure, of course”
      “Ok, we’ll do it.”
      {russians attack}
      “The russians are attacking. Protect us!”
      “Yeah, about that …”

    Obama looks like a fucking genius now. Holy shit.m

    All these moron republican politicians got the thing they wanted for two decades and it was just a bunch of human blood and labor and money set on fire only to accomplish nothing more than an accellerated pathway for an oppressive regime to get nuclear weapons.

    here’s the thing: every country has a right to a nuclear program. if the only country to use them in war tells you “no” you can clearly ignore them.

    iran deserves nuclear energy, medicine, etc. Just as much as the US or russia.
