There will be no restarting - they are even closer to having nuclear arms than before because we abandoned the deal. It wasn't a perfect deal, but it was real progress and would have significantly slowed nuclear development (experts say ~15 years instead of 2 years).
It's hard to have any deal when repubs have pledged to abandon it (regardless of what it is) when they have control again.
