It gets even worse than that.
The “Iran Nuclear Deal” was a fraud right from the start.
The goal all along was to release the Iranian assets that were frozen, some for decades, as well as ending the sanctions placed against Iran because of its support of terrorism.
President Obama always had the unilateral right to end sanctions and release frozen assets, which is exactly wanted to do and ultimately actually did.
This was politically very damaging so Obama wanted cover from Congress in the form of a formal agreement
Congress went along, in retrospect it seems because of a combination of massive bribes and perhaps a well targeted blackmail and intimidation campaign
The “deal” Obama ultimately negotiated was outright treason
It fully funded the Iranian/North Korean nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs development, manufacturing and deployment phases
It committed the US to cooperate with Iran in classified intelligence ( sources and methods included) sharing of ISR information on Israel and its plans to attack Iranian nuclear weapons and also to use US military assets to defend actively Iran against any Israeli attack
It also formally required the US to provide Iran with any “non weapons” nuclear technology that Iran demanded. This is de facto providing Iran with access to US nuclear technology with weapons applications because any nuclear technology, except for a very limited amount of specialized warhead tech , is fundamentally dual use and can be used in weapons programs
We committed Iran to absolutely nothing as they never adopted the document and the primary aim was to delay ( not prevent) the processing of weapons grade uranium by Iran.
This had absolutely no negative impact on Iran’s weapons programs as Iran’s North Korean partner had already turned the corner on weapons grade processing and Iran had already subcontracted weapons grade uranium enrichment to North Korea - a fact Obama was fully aware of and do nothing to prevent.

Yes it was.
Only the Democrats. the European Union and the United Nations are stupid enough to believe in this “deal”.
