Trump Right on Nuclear Deal As Iran Boasts of Secret ‘Missile Cities’ Which Began 6 Years Ago

[Crepitus]

Wasn't tRump's original bitch with the JCPOA that it didn't prohibit mallisyic missiles?

I'm pretty sure it was.

 

[HenryBHough]

Democrats will figure it out when the Iranian nuke aimed at The White House hits The House while it's in treasonous session.

(OK, those who were away on vacations styled as "fact finding missioins" and sadly survived.)

Maybe that's why President Trump spends so much time thousands of miles away.

 

[depotoo]

Read under Un sanctions, which was part of the deal.

Show me where.

3.Iran is called upon not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology, until the date eight years after the JCPOA Adoption Day or until the date on which the IAEA submits a report confirming the Broader Conclusion, whichever is earlier.

Obama and Trump are on the opposite side of the human continuum in terms of species!

 

[Olde Europe]

Reveals what most Republicans knew all along. Iran was no more an honest broker than the American news outlets that wont cover this.

Show me what part of https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2165399/full-text-of-the-iran-nuclear-deal.txt Iran contravened.

"Iran bad."

There is your evidence. Don't bitch if you don't like it.

Also, the upcoming war on Iran needs proper preparation - if it feels like 2002, there's a reason for that.

If we lack the ability to stop a missile attack from Iran then we are fucked anyhow.

Show me where that is in the JCPOA. Ballistic missiles are not mentioned. The UN endorsed the deal, they are not part of it. You are lying through your deplorable teeth, even after it has been pointed out to you and a link provided. What a surprise.

Iran is not cheating, it entered no ballistic missile deal with the UN.

That's part of Annex B (p. 99/104).

What the goofs willfully overlook is this:

"3. Iran is called upon not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology, until the date eight years after the JCPOA Adoption Day or until the date on which the IAEA submits a report confirming the Broader Conclusion, whichever is earlier."

Of course, their handlers raise the impression that every ballistic missile, provided it's manufactured by Iran (BAD!), is designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons. What else could it be? Cue the spluttering apoplexy.

Too, Iran is merely 'called upon', not 'shall not', or 'will not'. They have broken no agreement.

Yes, that's oft-remarked upon in commentaries on that section. I find that choice of language to be of secondary import. If, as Iranian officials routinely assert, they have no interest in building a nuclear weapon, constructing a missile designed to be capable of carrying one makes no sense. Conversely, if they construct such a missile designed to carry a nuke, their argument as to their lack of interest in nukes falls apart. So, this is a matter of consistency, no matter the language. It goes without saying, there is a grey zone between powerful conventional missiles that might, with some reworking, also be capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. That zone broadens with increasingly advanced technology to miniaturize nuclear warheads for missile delivery (whether the Iranians have mastered that I do not know). That opens an avenue for both Iranians and their detractors to claim foul play on the respective other side with at least some justification.

It also goes without saying, the main violators of the JCPOA have very little standing to howl about the alleged violations by others.

Now, thanks to Trump
They will have nuclear warheads to put on those missiles

While insisting all other parties maintain all elements of it!

As far as the U.S. policy goes, they threaten all who would adhere to the provisions of the JCPOA with (secondary) sanctions. So, Iran is supposed to comply, while everyone else is bullied into breaking the JCPOA, and all the while there's the steady drumbeat of propaganda against Iran. They even have missiles! Is that even allowed? Here's an interesting view on the broader region, mostly reasonable, but with the typical Western "blind spot" when it comes to Iran's legitimate security interests.

Now Trump is giving Iran a reason to use its missiles
