Iran Deal

"Saying that we were able to decrease the threat of the potential Iranian nuclear weapons is pretty rich when we were not even able to decrease their capabilities to build such a weapon by 50%." We were able to decrease the threat of the potential for Iranian nuclear weapons. No matter how substantial that decrease was, we made the world a little more safe and more peaceful by decreasing the threat that Iran would face to the world's people. "Sure, the United States has the ability to investigate Iran, but what is the guarantee that they can or will regularly investigate?" If the United States didn't investigate the Iranian uranium facilities, that wouldn't be the fault of the deal, it would be the fault of the United States for not taking advantage of what we were given in the deal. "I would say that gaining access to the ability to buy conventional weapons and $60 billion dollars is a little bit more that a 'small increase in power.' We basically gave them a DIY kit to attacking other countries; access to weapons on a large scale, and a requisite sum of money to start them off. We have to look at why we were so bent on taking away their ability to create nuclear weapons that we gave them a huge amount of military power in exchange." First, allowing them to purchase weapons that most countries in the world, regardless of power standing, and allowing them access to their own money is no more than a minimal increase in power. We "were so bent on taking away their ability to create nuclear weapons", because a nuclear warhead in by far the most dangerous and destructive weapon on the face of the earth. Because Iran hates the United States, if we allowed them access to the most dangerous and destructive weapon on the planet, we would basically be allowing the proceeding of our demise to occur. " I think we can safely say that this objective has summarily failed, considering in your very words that Iran still wants 'death to' the United States." First, the agreement was a little more than one year ago. We have no idea how effective this agreement was in mending our affairs with Iran, yet, because we haven't given it much time. However, the idea was that if we could work together and compromise on something that we both felt strongly about, it would open up a higher quality discussion with Iran, and provide us with the framework to solve other grievances we have with one another. "They have the ability to delay inspections with red tape and bureaucracy, as said by the Iranian Foreign Minister." They can try their best to delay the process of investigation, but the United States Government has said many times that it will make sure that we carry out our side of the deal, and investigate them whenever we think it's necessary. I will answer your question, as my point. "What exactly did this deal accomplish?' Before this agreement was made, it would have taken Iran two or three months to gather enough fissile material to build a nuclear weapon. Today, because of the Iran Deal, it would take them a year, if not longer. With the unprecedented amount of monitoring of their uranium facilities, we will re-institute sanctions on Iran immediately. "So far Iran has: shipped 25,000 pounds of enriched uranium out of the country; dismantled and removed two-thirds of its centrifuges; removed the calandria from its heavy water reactor and filled it with concrete; and provided unprecedented access to its nuclear facilities and supply chain." (WhiteHouse.Gov). We have accomplished a lot, and if Iran breaks its end of the bargain, they will receive the consequences.
