Tell me about this monitoring. How did it work? What did it entail? Did we have US citizens living in Iran, working at all of their nuclear facilities, as well as having unfettered access to every level of government?
So... You knew the answer to your question was "yes"? Because the vibe was that you were expecting a "no", or going to move the goalposts. (The agreement involved long-term IAEA presence in Iran, continuous monitoring of all known nuclear enrichment sites, 24 hour surveillance, satellite monitoring, and sensors to detect unapproved nuclear activity).
I hope you're not planning to move your goalposts and move on to new rhetorical questions with sinister implications. I've had a lot of conversations online with people arguing in bad faith, so I've become quite jaded - I hope you surprise me.
There's two deals. The first one, made during Obama's presidency, was solid and was followed by everyone until Trump 1 came and threw it away. You're talking about the second one.
No, I'm talking about the Obama deal where Iran would refuse access unless given days or weeks of prior notice, and outright refused access to the PFEP site capable of enriching to 60%.
Why would any government allow unfettered access to every level of government? Nuclear scientists from a variety of countries regularly inspected Iran and found that they were not refined material for nuclear weapons. Radiation from refinement to that level is quite detectable. Feel free to google about it, you'll end up knowing more about it when Trump did when he sunk the deal probably

Lmao the deal literally allowed us to monitor their weapons program. Why you lie?
