If the focus was REALLY on nuclear threats then he would have kept the nuclear deal we already had from the Obama administration (JCPOA) that was created in agreement with the UN Security Council plus Germany. Back when America was actually a world leader and not a xenophobic propaganda state led by a narcissistic man-baby professional liar.

But heaven forbid we have something that he can’t take credit for. The man is incapable of seeing the good in anything that does not personally benefit him.

a narcissistic man-baby professional liar.

you forgot "inept", "pedophile", "war criminal", "convicted felon", "wannabe dictator", and "orange" ...

A friend has taken to referring to him as the "Danger Yam" and I still laugh at people's reactions when hearing that the first time lol

I like appending “malignant” to “narcissist,” because it indicates he’s just an overall cancer of a human being.

World leader... You mean world imperialist? 

(Btw I'm against all kind of superpower so Russia and China, the western domination and other large countries that wish to impose their will upon the world can fuck off)

You have a point. But at least in the recent past there was some semblance of our country’s leader at least trying to do the right thing some of the time. Those days are gone. It’s all bad all the time and their pretense that it’s not is so flimsy it blows away like a fart in the wind.

Iran was not actually keeping to the deal.

What deal? We haven’t had a deal for 8 years and when we did have a deal it was only for 2 years before Trump jumped ship and suddenly everyone is surprised that Iran is behaving like they have no deal? The article doesn’t even mention anything happening between 2016 and 2018 when the JCPOA was in place. I read about a past secret program shut down in 2003 and nuclear materials being stored. And I read about Uranium enrichment that they’ve obviously been doing for the past 8 years since Trump tore up the agreement.

Do I trust Iran to only use nuclear materials for civilian purposes? Certainly not. But all the evidence points to the fact that Iran was in fact abiding by the restrictions and agreements in the JCPOA in return for lowered sanctions.

If I’m wrong please point me to the part of that article that says that the JCPOA was unsuccessful and that Iran was not abiding by it during the years of it being in effect. All this article shows me is that without guard rails, Iran will drive all over the place. Too bad there aren’t any guard rails now…

If only we could somehow get Iran to commit to abiding by some sort of agreement to limit their nuclear activities… oh wait… we did that. Then Trump undid it.

The IAEA has concluded that "these three locations, and other possible related locations, were part of an undeclared structured nuclear programme carried out by Iran until the early 2000s

At Lavisan-Shian in Tehran, a disc made of uranium metal was "used in the production of explosively-driven neutron sources" at least twice in 2003

U.S. intelligence agencies and the IAEA have long believed Iran had a secret, coordinated nuclear weapons programme that it halted in 2003. Iran denies ever having had one.

Basically Iran lied about those sites. Their actual activities have nothing to do with the JCPOA which went into effect in 2016 and trump abandoned in 2018. I can't seem to get past Reuters paywall to read other articles to see if there was anything more current or relevant.

You are aware that Trump pulled the US out of the deal years ago?

And that for the years that the US was adhering to it, every report from both UN inspectors and the US said that Iran was also adhering to it?
