The Nuke is in the Details

The IAEA says Iran is largely complying with the Iran nuclear deal. They don't know that.

Is this a shock?

Iran has remained within the main restrictions on its nuclear activities imposed by a 2015 deal with major powers, a confidential report by the U.N. atomic watchdog indicated on Thursday.

Iran is in compliance with some big ticket restrictions that they agreed to in the deal, such as uranium enrichment levels and enriched uranium stocks. They agreed to those and agreed to let the IAEA monitor that.

Yet as time goes on, we have no way of knowing if the sites the IAEA monitors are the only sites for enriched uranium or anything else they monitor.

The flawed Iran deal does not allow the IAEA access to every potential nuclear facility and does not provide for rapid access before Iran can wipe evidence clean--or reduce it enough for excuses to be made for how it isn't really a violation of terms in any significant fashion.

So Iran is in compliance with what they agreed to be in compliance with, and we don't know what else Iran is doing in the large country (or what is subcontracted to North Korea).

It is good America pulled out of the deal. It was nothing but cover for Iran's mastering of nuclear technology and a shield against attack while they prepared to make nuclear weapons.
