Subject: Re: The Deal with Iran. Largely sucks.
IMO, this deal (in whatever form it takes in the end) is worse because it almost certainly won't restrain enrichment by the Iranians. The JCPOA did, however imperfectly it may have been.

The Iranians had several sites going on while under the JCPOA and were cheating the entire time.

The JCPOA was a literal kick the can down the road exercise. Had we followed it, by the timelines laid out in the deal Iran would have the bomb right now.

At least this deal ack's that Iran is not allowed to have a nuke. That said, I don't believe that pledge is worth the paper it's printed on.
