The JCPOA was built on four (false) foundations:

1) The sanctions regime was crumbling.

2) Iran’s program is peaceful in nature.

3) The JCPOA blocks all pathways to a bomb.

4) The alternative was war.
Since 2015 we’ve learnt how all those foundations were total bunk:

1) Under Trump the USA singlehandedly resurrected the sanctions regime.

2) Israel’s Mossad extracted Iran’s atomic archive from Tehran, exposing the truth to the world.
3) Iran’s violations have shown how none of their pathways to the bomb were ever “blocked”.

4) The maximum pressure campaign did not result in war. Even while some of Iran’s most prominent generals were liquidated.
Returning to the JCPOA now, is to lie to yourself about its efficacy.

All the JCPOA gives is ‘time’, but time equals more resources for Iran, and a greater and more protected nuclear program.

In short: Time makes an Iranian bomb ‘more likely’.
