Of course Iran loves the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. The deal is a shield to protect Iran until it gets nuclear weapons.
This is not a sign that Iran is peace-loving:
The head of Iran's nuclear agency said Monday that the landmark 2015 deal between Tehran and world powers on his country's atomic program is struggling since the unilateral U.S. withdrawal, but is still worth preserving.
Ali Akbar Salehi told delegates at a conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna that the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, has been “caught in a quasi-stalemate situation” since President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out in 2018.
Iran is continuing its hostile policy more than a year after the deal was announced. Iran has been getting worse, fomenting unrest in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia.
They've captured more of our people and had their sock puppets fire at American warships in the Red Sea. In the Persian Gulf, they've fired near our ships, carried out mock attack runs, and captured two of our vessels that broke down in the Gulf--humiliating our crews in the process.
So that magical reset has not occurred yet despite supposedly clearing the decks for restoring American-Iranian relations.
Clearly, Iran still views us as hostile.
Yet they agreed to the nuclear deal. Why?
If Iran sees America as a threat, why would Iran agree to even suspend nuclear work for a decade? Doesn't that just lock in a period of Iranian vulnerability to an American attack on Iran? That's why many leftists in the West say Iran needs nuclear weapons. Remember? The Iraq War proved why enemies need nukes. That's how the left excused Iran's nuclear ambitions (even as Iran denied having such ambitions).
Despite all that, Iran agreed to the deal. Because the existence of the deal deters America and Israel from striking Iran until Iran uses the deal provisions to build their own nuclear weapons. And Iran may have thought they could buy North Korean nukes to get an instant nuclear deterrent until Iran can build sufficient weapons.
Thank goodness Trump pulled out of that awful deal. Now we have a real plan of action to prevent Iran from going nuclear.
