The only answer I have is the one that Trump keep on repeating, about how Iran should not have a nuclear weapon.
> JCPOA agreement
If I am the POTUS and is really concerned about what happens to US after my term, I would be very concerned about what happens when the term of the agreement expires. This fits with Trump has been saying. That he became the POTUS because he found those that came before him not doing a good job. So it follows that he might think his successors also would not do a good job. So when he says he want a permanent solution to Iran's nuclear threat, I think that is why.
This is what I said before. If you take what Trump says and do, in different contexts, it matches. I mean, he has an underlying philosophy and world view that he has built up, and is not derived from the thoughts and philosophy of others. This is another reason why I like him, but causes a huge majority of intellectuals to hate him. Because most of the intellectuals derive or outsource their view and thinking to other thought leaders...

The Israeli media played that line for close to 40 years, lamenting Iran being "mere months" away from a nuke - for decades at a time. Iran has nothing to do with American homeland security. America's involvement in Iran is purely for political and economic reasons, there is no credible threat to America in Iran any more than there is in Sudan or Yemen. > If I am the POTUS [...] I would be very concerned about what happens when the term of the agreement expires. Genuinely, why? The JCPOA is a joint plan, America's opinion only matters insofar as we can compel Iran to comply. Pulling out increases the likelihood that Iran races to build a bomb with their HEU. Bombing them, like in the Twelve-Day War and Operation Midnight Hammer, did not compel any compliance. The uranium is still a problem. > So when he says he want a permanent solution to Iran's nuclear threat, I think that is why. I think that is bogus. Iran is not a credible nuclear threat to the United States or it's citizens, so the US would only be going to war to protect Israel. In which case, we don't even need the nuke pretext and we can just admit that it's a protectionist war to defend our fragile satellite state instead of lying about ICBM threats.
- qsera 6mo agoIt seems that the JCPOA was not working really well.. https://isis-online.org/isis-reports/update-on-irans-compliance-with-the-jcpoa-nuclear-limits/ https://isis-online.org/isis-reports/update-on-irans-complia...
- 2ndorderthought 6mo agoAre you aware of what trump did so that Iran could have a nuclear weapon? Look up his last term, about which former president already had a successful agreement in place to prevent that.
