An open letter to the US Congress: don’t let Trump rip up the Iran deal

For more than a decade, we – Europeans, Americans, and the international community – have feared the imminent threat of a nuclear-armed Iran. To counter this threat and make the Middle East a safer place, the international community came together, using the might of diplomatic negotiations and the force of sanctions, agreed by most of the major economic powers.

After 13 years of joint diplomatic effort, we reached a major breakthrough and signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), an agreement between Iran, France, the UK, Germany, the US, China, and Russia, regarding Tehran‘s nuclear programme. With that, we were able to impose unprecedented scrutiny on the Iranian nuclear programme, dismantle most of their nuclear enrichment facilities, and drastically reduce the danger of a nuclear arms race. Not a drop of blood was spilt. Furthermore, these controls will not cease after the 10 years of the JCPOA: Iran will continue to be subject to the strict controls prescribed by the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, which will continue to limit enrichment.

1. How dare they lecture the US in public, yet?!

2. Are they that stupid to believe that the "deal" would actually slow Iran down?

“Signed by parliamentarians from Britain, Germany and France “

I was recently banned by The Guardian’s comment boards for having pointed out that there are only two genders.Very revealing...but not surprising.

Are these idiots STUPID? They actually think Iran will adhere to these agreements with NO INSPECTION?

Richard Bacon is an MP and chair of the all-party parliamentary group for Iran, Omid Nouripour is a Green member of the Bundestag and Delphine O is a member of the Assemblée nationale in France. More than 300 other parliamentarians from the three countries signed this letter

LOL! Communists all!

Exactly. How did this Corker deal manage to subvert the constitutional requirement for Senate ratification?

I was reading the comments at the site, and they’re pretty pathetic.

[familyop]

“Quite in the peanut gallery!”

[familyop]

“Quiet,” even. [Sheepish grin.]

[Rurudyne]

What, are we due to transfer another hundreds of millions in cash to them and Barry just forgot to mention it was part of the deal?

[DarthVader]

Destroy it Mr. President!!

"I was reading the comments at the site, and they’re pretty pathetic."

Those are just the Russian cyberspies colluding with the Iranian cyber terrorists who are paying the fakebook cybermillionairs to print their democrat propaganda.

We need to figure out to drive a giant wedge between Pooty-poot and the Mullahs.

No doubt. Little Corker was merely the sponsor, not the force.

[inchworm]

So Europe’s worst fear is a nuclear middle East yet they have inoculated themselves with a heavy dose of the middle east. Stupid is as stupid dies, right.
