Don't Rescue Iran's Nuclear Ambitions

Would Trump or Biden forge a worse nuclear deal with Iran's mullahs?

There is a risk that Trump will agree to a bad deal with Iran spun as a good deal (like the original Iran deal under Obama). But is Biden really better based on his statements?

For voters who have supported Trump’s tough line on Iran, this presents a dilemma. Who would make a better deal with Iran: a mercurial president who has shown little interest in details and policy, or a former vice president whose administration negotiated a weak one in the first place? Put another way: Do you go with the devil you know, or the devil you once knew?

Biden didn't stop the bad 2015 Iran nuclear deal. And even if Biden is sincere in wanting to forge a better deal, if elected will the leftists around him let him when the old Obama band is so eager to get back together?

And more to the point, does it matter? I worry any deal is subject to Iranian cheating as long as Iran can subcontract their nuclear work to North Korea
