Iran has been pursuing nuclear deterrence by enriching for decades, the entire time I've been in and out of the country. That's a given.

Bibi and his tales that Iran is just a week away from an actual working bomb has been going on almost as long. Bibi - the guy with a secret / not secret collection of bombs.

The question of whether or not Iran was playing along sufficiently with inspectors when there was an inspection deal in place is what we are talking about here.

IMHO they weren't getting away with much, at that time Israel was making up claims that they were and media blasting.

That is all times past, of course.

It's also clear that once Trump tore up the deal they went (sensibly in light of everything it seems) back to unchecked enrichment, and now that they've been attacked during negotiations there's zero trust and it would seem certain that there is a real risk that reinvigorated hard core fanatics will set a bomb off in either Israel and / or the US.

Smooth move clowns.
