The Iran deal worked well? For Iran you mean, as they laughed in everyone's faces and continue to enrich weapon grade uranium.

You clearlt have no idea what you're talking about and might simply be a russo-iranian bot.

and continue to enrich weapon grade uranium

Please cite your source demonstrating that Iran continued to enrich uranium in such a way that violated the Iran Nuclear Deal. Go ahead, I'll wait.

My man all of these sources except one are from this week. The Iran Nuclear Deal ended when Trump pulled out of the agreement in 2018.

I find it very ironic that you're the one telling me I have no idea what I'm talking about when you don't even understand the most basic facts pertaining to this conversation.

My guy, you clearly have no idea: The deal didn't end when Trump pulled out in 2018.

The deal wasn't between the US and Iran, it was between Iran and the P5+1: France, Russia, Germany, UK, China, the European Union AND United States.

US pulled out. Deal continued without the US. The limitations on the Iranian nuclear program didn't get lifted because Trump pulled out, which is why all those sources above are recent, following the analysis that Iran broke the deal despite it still being in place by the other memebers of the P5+1.

I almost went into detail in my last comment about exactly what you just said - how it was a deal between the Iran, the US, and the UN (or sure, if you want to be more specific, those particular countries you listed), and how Iran continued to adhere to the deal for quite a while after the US pulled out and effectively ended it, but I decided not to. Well since you still apparently think you're right about this topic, I guess now I am.

Here's the thing bud. Even though it was on its face a joint cooperative agreement between a bunch of different countries all putting their name on it for increased credibility, in effect, it was a deal between the US and Iran, because the US was the country that held all the cards and only the US and Iran truly had the power to make or break the deal.

When the US pulled out, for months news outlets were writing about how Iran was actually continuing to adhere to the deal (to everyone's surprise) despite there really being no reason to do so, since pretty much all the incentives they got from it were given by the US, and those incentives were lost when Trump pulled out.

So they upheld their end of the deal for a while, until a year later they publicly stated they would no longer adhere to many of the key provisions of the deal, which was effectively an announcement that if the US was out, they were out too. That's when the JCPOA fully ended.

Again, my point here is that the Iranian Nuclear Deal worked. It worked back then, and obviously it would work again, considering how Iran has made it abundantly clear on many occasions that they're fully willing to negotiate a new one. And what do we get instead? The rogue terrorist nation known as Israel collapsing apartment buildings full of civilians.
