The world already knew.
The real strength of the prior admins was in simply not needing the military force. The 2015 Iran nuclear deal is a relevant example here. It didn't cost the US anything.
- stickfigure 5mo agoIt did, however, allow the Khomeini regime to murder its own citizens with impunity. So someone paid.
- tasuki 5mo agoThat same regime is still allowed to murder its own citizens, now more so than before. The US attacks have only made the regime stronger.
- stickfigure 5mo ago> The US attacks have only made the regime stronger. This claim is not supported by evidence. The "best" we can say about the regime is that it persists. So far.

- toast0 5mo agoThe Khomeini regime was always allowed to murder its own citizens, within its borders, with impunity. That's one of the priviledges of a sovereign state.
- tick_tock_tick 5mo agoI mean it really didn't get us anything either. It's not like Iran stopped working towards nuke when they signed it.
- potatototoo99 5mo agoYes they did, to the best of anyone's knowledge they did adhere to the nuclear deal until it was cancelled by Trump. Do you have sources that contradict this?
