U.S. Chooses Not to Ignore Iran Deal's Flaws
(USA Today) Reuel Marc Gerecht - Trump has chosen not to ignore the deal's sunset clauses, which make restrictions on Iran temporary. He hasn't ignored that Revolutionary Guard bases, where we know Iran has engaged in nuclear-weapons research, are now effectively off-limits to inspectors. He is not ignoring the regime's development of long-range ballistic missiles that only makes sense if armed with atomic warheads. He is not ignoring the strategic and moral absurdity that monies delivered to Iran under the deal abet Tehran's imperialism, especially its savage campaign in Syria, which has now claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. Stunningly, Trump is not doing what democracies almost always do: Punt problems down the road, where they inevitably become far worse.
