We are told that Iran’s deal with Obama guaranteed no nukes. IMO, Hundreds of kilograms of highly enriched uranium did not suddenly appear since Trump. I think they continued to produce enriched uranium and said they were not. Iran cannot be taken at its word ever so long as a radical terrorist regime is in control. Don’t beat up Trump for that.And thanks for this post.
The author's standard is clear — no settlement should be accepted unless the enriched uranium is physically removed and verified. This is exactly where I have little confidence in Trump. His pattern is declaring victory before objectives are secured, and his first-term Iran policy — maximum pressure abandoned for a photo-op deal that never came — suggests he is far more likely to accept a ceasefire that looks like victory than to hold the line until the material is actually off the board.

And it doesn’t even look like victory. It looks like capitulation.
