The US has no credibility to be demanding anything from Iran given the US removed itself from the Nuclear Deal without cause.

Good. Don’t ever make a stupid deal with a terrorist state that hates and wants to destroy you and your allies ever again. Keep the pallets of cash for the American victims of the embassy invasion and the numerous terrorist attacks over the last fifty years.

I think I'd be more focused on creating a workable, verifiable solution to contain Iran's nuclear program. We had that before, but this time it's much more difficult due to Trump's miscalculation. And now Israel is doing their part to increase hostilities. Not good. It's going to take some time to get things back on track again.

As for those who are against the deal, I'd like to hear some alternatives. One obviously is war, and by war I mean a full-scale invasion since too much of their nuclear infrastructure is underground. We can try to sanction them to death, but we have decades of experience showing us that sanctions haven't produced the outcomes we want, actually the opposite. And it doesn't work without our allies (who won't go for it) or China and Russia (who won't go for it).

How about sanctioning Israel, a country that regularly bombs civilians in most of its neighbor and launched a dirty nuclear bomb attack on Iran?

This is a binary, black/white false choice. It’s not capitulation or war. The alternative is resistance without war. Iran hates America and hates Jews. They have a binary view of the world- either with us or against us. We should isolate them as best as possible and left them simmer in their own filthy ideology. You don’t make a deal with the devil. Why should the US sell its soul for a false short-lived sense of security. Avoid deals with Iran and pursue deals with as many other nations in the region as demonstrated by the Abraham Accords. Biden seems so determined to sell America’s soul to the devil he will make a bad deal just so he can say he has a deal - further estranging America from the US’s strongest ally in the region Israel.

Tried that already. It only works if everyone is on board and Europe, and especially China and Russia, are not on board. It's not effective in getting Iran back to compliance.

By the way, do you want to contain Iran's nuclear program or wipe the Iranian government off the map?

I'd point out that no, Iran installing more efficient centrifuges and starting to work towards the ability to produce MEDIUM ENRICHEDURANIUM (suitable for fueling the type of reactors used to power ships without adding to climate change, and entirely unsuitable for nuclear weapons) does not violate ANY of the nuclear agreements Iran has entered into, and that the refusal of Biden to even consider getting the US into compliance with the JCPOA for the very first time is the only loose thread in the deal, but if the editors are determined to ignore facts, why should I think that the readers are interested in them.

But I would point out that the ONLY PROVOCATIVE DEVELOPMENTS on the issue in the past few years since Trump repudiated the American position of pretending to be interested in being reasonable are the TERRORIST ATTACK ON THE CIVILIAN nuclear program and the refusal of certain states to condemn such a reckless and lawless act.

U.S., European powers warn Iran over 'dangerous' uranium enrichment move

Gee, what a surprise. First, they abandon Trumps correct and effective policy of containment, and then they are surprised about the predictable and predicted results.

No buyers remorse yet?

-3 ( +0 / -3 )

Trump has no Iran containment because he can't get Russia and China on board (the largest technology partners of Iran)

In order to have a containment deal, he needs Europe, Russia, China, all to sign off on the deal

Good luck trying to do that
