Sanctions and the Iran nuclear deal

Posted November 14, 2018 12:00 am

The IAEA's latest report on the 2015 P5+1 nuclear deal with Iran reaffirms Iran is fully in compliance with the agreement guaranteeing Iran doesn't produce nuclear weapons.

This is nothing new. Every IAEA report since the agreement was reached has verified Iran's compliance. Possibly Trump's biggest lie as president has been Iran's noncompliance, prompting US abandonment of the deal six months ago.

The latest IAEA report comes just a week after Trump imposed new sanctions on Iran in furtherance of his real goal in Iran: regime change to take out the arch rival of our Middle East allies Saudi Arabia and Israel. All other nations are thumbing their petro dollars at Trump by buying Iranian oil. It's simply another Forest Gump moment for Trump that "stupid is as stupid does."
