So We're Still Pretending the Iran Deal Works?

If inspections could stop Iran from going nuclear, Iran would never have agreed to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

Hahahahahahaha!

One potential victim of coronavirus? Nuclear inspections in Iran[.]

Oh that was funny!

One, I thought Iran didn't even have a nuclear weapons program. That's what Iran says. And Democrats here pretend to believe that lie. Heck, pretending that was true was the foundation of the entire horrible Iran nuclear deal.

And two, under the terms of that amazingly awful deal, Iran only lets the IAEA inspect what the Iranians say the IAEA can inspect--and only under conditions that make even those inspections nearly worthless dog and pony shows.

So please, don't ask me to seriously entertain the question of who will inspect Iran during the Wuhan Flu:

While the Iranian regime continues to call for sanctions relief in response to the coronavirus crisis, the regime appears rather content with the pandemic’s debilitating impact on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Inspectors remain stuck in Vienna or quarantined in their hotels in Iran to avoid exposure to the virus, which continues to spread quickly throughout Iran.

Ask what were the inspectors allowed to inspect when there was no virus? Yes, yes, the point of this article is that five years into the deal the IAEA was just starting to investigate some interesting discoveries of violations.

But so what? We know Iran is aiming for nuclear missiles. We don't need inspections to let us know that. Parts of the deal expire after 8 years and others in 10. We're almost at 5 years into the deal now.

All Iran has to do is run out the clock with delays in the way of this investigation and they're home free, clear of any international authority to examine what Iran is doing. And in the meantime under the deal we were obligated to help them with "peaceful" nuclear technology development. And of course we couldn't bomb anything they were doing to improve their infrastructure and skills during the deal.

So don't worry about the IAEA in Iran. Worry about the mullahs in Iran--and the nukes they are trying to build.
