Marco Rubio Says It's 'Irrelevant' Whether U.S. Intel Showed Iran Building Nuclear Weapons

[mathematic]

16. Are people really Iran nuclear weapons program truthers? The whole point of Obama's JCPOA was to stop it.

I'm really confused why I'm seeing comments as if Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program. They do. The Obama administration famously negotiated a deal with Iran to dismantle it and stop it for a limited time. The idea was if that deal went well then Iran could be convinced to stop pursuing nuclear weapons indefinitely. This deal was also famously canceled (well, withdrawn from, technically) by Trump in 2018. And people are acting in disbelief that Iran restarted their program in earnest 7 years ago?

This is not secret information. Iran is a signatory to the NPT and thus have an obligation to not develop nuclear weapons. So of course they say they don't. And of course they're lying. I mean, I'm supposed to believe Obama spent years of effort and political capital to stop Iran from using nuclear electricity? How is this even a hard call to make on Democratic Underground? People would so readily believe that Obama is a fool that wasted time and energy than they would that a country holds "Death to America" as official policy is lying about their weapons program?
