“American withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal must be the first step in a complete review of the nuclear & ballistic missile threats from both #Iran & #NorthKorea.”
Excellent read by @ClareMLopez.
The key reason that President Trump must not only not recertify the Iran nuclear deal but outright abrogate it is because Tehran is explicitly and demonstrably out of compliance with the agreement on numerous specific counts. Further, after the Iranian regime was caught in 2002 operating a clandestine weapons program in violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty conduct underway for at least 14 years and has never come clean about that program, it cannot be trusted to adhere to any other agreement.
In November 2011, the International Atomic Energy Agency documented a long list of possible military dimensions related to the Iranian nuclear program that strongly suggest that Iran had an advanced nuclear weapons program and possibly nuclear warheads at that time. More recent revelations about sites like Parchin indicate that the Iranian regime continues to work on nuclear warheads and explosive charges to initiate the implosion sequence of a nuclear bomb at clandestine sites off-limits to inspectors. Critically, there is no enforcement mechanism in the nuclear deal to compel the Iranian regime to allow inspectors anytime, anywhere inspections.
