Will The GOP Establishment Enable Another Disastrous Iran Nuclear Deal?
By: Jonathan S. Tobin
March 29, 2022

With corporate media focused almost exclusively on the war in Ukraine, the country is largely ignoring another impending foreign policy disaster with consequences that are potentially as great, if not greater, than what’s happening in Eastern Europe. The United States is on the verge of cutting another nuclear deal with Iran that is, if anything, even more wrongheaded than the one that was the signature foreign policy accomplishment of the Obama administration.

The poor performance of American negotiators isn’t the only similarity between what’s happening now and the original deal that former President Barack Obama struck with Tehran’s theocrats. The Republican establishment in Congress appears to be just as unwilling to take effective action to try to stop the Biden administration’s appeasement of Iran as they were in 2015.

While the details haven’t been officially released and last-minute disputes have caused delays, multiple legacy media outlets have been reporting for weeks that the United States and their P5+1 diplomatic partners (China, France, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Germany) are close to reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that former President Donald Trump withdrew from in 2018.

Iran would be stupid to give up its nuclear weapons program.  Khadafi gave up his nukes, and look what happened to him.  Ukraine gave up its nukes, and look what's happened to it.

North Korea still has nukes - no invasion, no regime change, just more Hennessey and rocket launches.

At this point, Ukraine is probably the object lesson on that score, so yeah, I don't think Iran will in fact actually give up its ability to obtain nuclear weapons in short order - unless Israel weighs in on the matter.

If Israel wants to survive, it WILL "weigh in" on the matter.
The weight that matters will be measured in dropped bombs.
And to do the job, some of them may need to be ... nuclear.
