Reminder that none of this would've been possible if not for the neocons manipulating Trump's hatred of Obama to kill the JCPOA. From there, safeguards became unconstrained enrichment and all the scary things they're trotting out became possible. Be careful buying what these guys are still selling.

Like which of these safeguards could be realistically reconstituted? Any of them? Putting aside the betrayal of the original deal and the sabotage of current negotiations, could Iran even materially offer these things now? So wth are US/IL even able to demand, short of very obvious nonstarters?

Yes most of the key facilities have been set back greatly, but what's a more compelling point if you're in Tehran: · completing the program will be harder / take longer now · the rationale for the bomb has been completely validated and regime survival is at stake

Security by intervention isn't sustainable via bombardment alone, and insufficient against a national bomb program. Just awful outcomes ahead, forced once again by the natsec hawks who never face down the consequences of supremist thinking
