Not like we're in a strategically strong spot here since Trump backed out


"The core of the 2015 agreement is that the U.S. and other world powers lift sanctions on Iran in exchange for a severe curb to its nuclear development. Former President DONALD TRUMP didn’t like the deal and withdrew America from it in 2018, paving the way for Iran to move closer — though not close — to having enough nuclear material for a bomb. In February, McGurk and Malley told senators in a similar classified session that Tehran was just “weeks” away from that breakout point.

Painstaking negotiations in Vienna between the U.S. and Iran, conducted with Europeans as intermediaries, neared a conclusion earlier this month. The expectation was that both Washington and Tehran would outline a series of steps whereby the U.S. would remove sanctions as Iran verifiably wound down its nuclear work."

On one side, we let Iran pass their nuclear breakout point. On the other, we accept a compromise on Russia for this one issue to stop Iran from doing so. Like Sixer said above, the world is complicated. It would have been less complicated if we had kept the original deal in place and then we wouldn't have had to compromise here.
