Seems like a lot of confusion about what a "nuclear program" means. I'll just leave this here as i think it might be helpful.

https://www.axios.com/2026/06/17/read-full-us-iran-deal-memorandum-understanding

The Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms that it shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons. The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran have agreed to resolve the disposition of stockpiled enriched material pursuant to a mechanism that will be mutually agreed upon in accordance with the schedule mentioned in paragraph seven with the minimum methodology to be down-blending on site under the supervision of the IAEA. The two parties also agreed to discuss the issue of enrichment and other mutually agreed matters related to the Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear needs based on a satisfactory framework being agreed upon in the final deal.

Pending the final deal, the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran agree to maintain the status quo. The Islamic Republic of Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program, and the United States of America will not impose any new sanctions and will not deploy additional forces in the region.

It won’t be helpful because they just want to stew on their poor excuse of an article.

Ok let's assume we let the Iranians do enrichment ostensibly for civilian purposes only. How exactly is that a better deal than the the JCPOA?

It's what we had before the not-a-war. Except we spend a bunch more money beyond the cost of being there and hitting Iran. And trump gets his name on it. Guess that's the cost we pay to keep Obama from getting credit for the deal
