Don't Withdraw from the Nuclear Agreement, Demand Its Full Implementation
(Institute for National Security Studies-Tel Aviv University) Moshe Ya'alon, Daniel Shapiro, Ephraim Asculai, Emily B. Landau, Sima Shine, Avner Golov, and Leehe Friedman - The JCPOA is an established fact and the other parties to it oppose reopening it. A unilateral American move to withdraw from the agreement would allow the Iranian regime to take advantage of the U.S. withdrawal for its own benefit. As charges against Iran regarding incomplete implementation of the agreement can already be made and pressure brought to bear even without opening the agreement and without a U.S. withdrawal, it is essential that a way be found to take action in this direction. The U.S. should continue to pursue a policy that will challenge the regime and require it to fulfill the agreement without reopening it, while recruiting members of the P5+1 to support these measures.
