Iran nuclear deal, fact sheet

This is another bad deal with people you simply cannot trust to keep their word. I appreciate the value in trying to negotiate a deal to avoid a nuclear Iran or forcing our hand (and others) to stop them.

This is kicking the can down the road, nothing more. This administration is giving them a path to the weapon. Here is a line from the official state dept link.

"Iran’s breakout timeline – the time that it would take for Iran to acquire enough fissile material for one weapon – is currently assessed to be 2 to 3 months. That timeline will be extended to at least one year, for a duration of at least ten years, under this framework".

Does anyone really believe Iran will move out to 10 years on developing enough material for a weapon? They already have intermediate delivery methods/short range missiles. How confident are we that we know about everything they actually have?

The U.S. concedes far too much in this deal:

All of these posts seem to fail to realize that we are not talking about a deal between two countries, it is not our deal with Iran... Unless my math skills have failed the P5+1 indicates 6 countries, only 1/6 of which is the US, treating with Iran. Our internal politicians can posture and spout rhetoric all they want, but they are most likely not going to be able to block a multinational deal from happening.

This is us choosing the carrot over the stick, which usually (not always) leads to better results. It allows the US to gain more popular support from the general Iranian population which may long term start a regime change for the betterment of all. If nothing else, as soon as they go back on their word, we can have a miltiary solution on standby, because most likely, nothing in the final deal will minimize military presence in the Gulf.
