The public sentiment around the Iran nuclear deal talks is deeply polarized and reflects skepticism towards the efficacy of negotiations, particularly concerning the U.S. and European powers. Many commenters express support for Iran's right to pursue nuclear capabilities and criticize perceived double standards related to Israel's nuclear arsenal. While some advocate for peaceful dialogue and sanction relief, there is a prevailing feeling of distrust and frustration towards the negotiation process, suggesting that many see it as unlikely to yield favorable outcomes for Iran.

They can talk and talk and talk.  Even sign a treaty, which they did!  But the crazy orange man running the show has no accountability and can't be trusted.  It is all poisoned

Probably not given the circumstances, but it may not have mattered longterm anyway.

Attacking them is worthless and there should be a no sanction approach cause Iran has suffered a lot of betrayal from US and US-Israel backed proxies like ISIS, Al Qaeda and Iraqi militias has caused grave harm to them. US funded an 8 year war to destabilize Iran but it made the regime stronger than ever.

Iran always said they don’t want nukes, they enriched to 60% because they want the US to lay back on sanctions as a negotiating tactic.

Iran didn’t backstab and kill Israeli or American generals and chiefs or scientists.

Israel did that, US did that. Trump killed Qasem soleimani when he came to Baghdad for negotiations. Why did he do that? How can you expect countries to negotiate when US deals in bad faith. Just currently, America’s rogue dog couldn’t keep his leash on and attacked Iran UNPROVOKED when there was negotiations on Sunday in Oman. Israel killed 80+ Civilians the first strike, killed members of Leadership without any goddamn reason.

If I were the leader of Iran I’d have built that bomb and I’d have told America to go fuck off. And this is coming from an American.

Just right now, there’s B2-Bomber spotted in Israel. So imagine you’re entering Iran territory with your stealth fighter to bomb the shit out of their facilities. America has no right to do that.

Diplomacy was always going strong until Trump did crazy shit.

I REPEAT, If Pakistan could have Nukes, IRAN COULD ALSO GET NUKES IF THEY WANTED. BUT THEY DONT. It’s against “SHIA Islamic” belief system. Khamenei needs to give out a Fatwa in order for them to build it as they consider nukes as Destroyer of human race and its “Haram”

I guess it depends on if you believe Iran was going to follow their side of things.

Iran wasn't doing their part anyway which means the whole agreement was pointless anyways.

[Atomic watchdog says Iran not complying with nuclear safeguards](https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/06/1164291)

[Lack of cooperation from Iran hampers nuclear checks, says atomic energy watchdog](https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/06/1164166) 

The point is they were never playing by the rules. If they agreed it was all lip service.

GreatSoulLord

Yes it was a good move to leave the deal.

&gt;The deal included robust and unprecedented inspection and verification measures by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to ensure Iran's compliance, granting inspectors access to declared nuclear facilities, the supply chain, and potentially undeclared sites.

In the words of Joe Biden... come on man. Calling the inspections "robust" is ludicrous. They had to notify Iran weeks (24 days) ahead of time, and they couldn't go to sites Iran said were "non-nuclear". Those provisions made the inspections totally worthless.

Most importantly, the deal allowed Iran to build the expertise and knowledge base it needed to eventually make weapons. This is something that can't be mitigated with inspections.

&gt;2. If you felt the deal wasn't good enough, was something better than nothing?

No, absolutely not. What we have now is better - a crippled Iran that's on the brink of collapse.

Inumnient

&gt;with some estimates suggesting it has enough highly enriched uranium to produce multiple nuclear explosive devices

Where are these estimates and by who exactly?

NoVacancyHI

You mention as a “key provision” that the deal included monitoring by the IAEA, but we handicapped them so heavily they may as well not have bothered going to Iran anyways. 

We ended up conceding on “anywhere, anytime” access for IAEA and being restricted to “declared” nuclear sites, with Iran having right of refusal for other sites. 

Without anywhere anytime access, there was no reason to even make the deal. Of course the IAEA was going to certify Iran’s compliance, as Iran would just not declare the actual enrichment sites and comply at the declared enrichment sites. We basically gave sanctions breaks and got nothing in return.

The heart of the problem is that the agreement needed to be a treaty, but such a treaty would never have been ratified by the Senate.  

That was a severe constitutional defect.  The executive branch can negotiate treaties, it cannot enter into them unilaterally.  

I also think it was remarkably foolish given just how unpopular the treaty would have been with congress and how few votes it would have garnered in the Senate.  

You seem to have also asked about the content of the agreement, whether that seemed beneficial for the US in general, unrelated to problems with the constitutional process.  

My opinion is it seemed fine.  Any nation with a functional nuclear energy industry also has a functional pipeline to nuclear bomb production.  It's almost like how any country which can make chemical fertilizer can also make mustard gas.  Same physics and same chemistry, respectfully.  The only realistic goal was to get Iran on board with having the capability but not exercising it, the way Japan, Italy, South Korea, and many other countries have the capability but do not exercise it.  The agreement seemed like a rational path towards that end, and, in hindsight, it's really a huge mistake that we didn't give it a shot.  

But, again, the severe constitutional flaws I think doomed it regardless of how good an idea it might have been.

We gave them cash and they funded terrorist. A lesson I've learned in life is to not deal with immoral people. 

random_guy00214

You would have to be pretty naive and gullible to believe that Iran was going to abide by any of it.

worldisbraindead

A large part seemed to be simply because Obama negotiated it with a sprinkling of pressure from War Hawks who seem to have gotten what they wanted.

There’s no pussyfooting around this - Trump’s failure to abide by the JCPOA is what got us here. Iran got their foreign assets, we got non-proliferation, that was the deal. Ripping that up just to go back to “extreme sanction” has done zero for the world and now we’re in this mess either way. This is solely on the Trump administrations.

apb2718

I’m 80% convinced that Trump is doing this because he was disgusted by his birthday parade and terrified by the amount of Americans showing up at rallies and protests against him.

He can’t get any legislation past, his lickspittle sycophants in his cabinet are too incompetent and too scared to tell him the truth, the DOJ is getting buried in an avalanche of court cases against him, his government and his allies. ICE morale is also down with many people leaning and the organization forced to hire bounty hunters to make up the losses.

To make matters worse he’s sick and is exhausted both mentally and physically. His legacy is slipping away from him and he has no respect with the other G7 nations or world. 

His flash and showmanship is keeping cult in line for now but the cracks are showing and then censorship of the woke right media empire is unable to keep up with Trump and friends flooding the zone with failure after failure.

It’s too bad Democrats don’t have a united leader or plan to capitalize on Trumps weakness. 

Hopefully Gavin Newsom can figure something out.

therosx

There were (at least) three big problems with the JCPOA:

\-it unfroze 100B in Iranian assets that allowed Iran to fund even more terrorism.   Even though there were restrictions on how the money could be spent, money is fungible so those restrictions were essentially meaningless.

\-Sunset provisions meant that, at best, the agreement would merely delay, not end Iran’s nuclear development program.

\-certain inspections required notification periods, which led to delays, which kinda defeats the purpose of inspections.

It was a peace deal, Trump tore it up because he's an easily led man baby

No-Upstairs-7001

According to Trump Iran wasn’t abiding by the treaty so he ended it.

RocketButters

&gt;The U.S. and many European nations lifted oil and financial sanctions and released about $100 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

Obama used stuxnet and $100B to get uranium and centrifuges out of Iran

Trump chose sanctions

Biden chose neither

Here we are.  Thankfully with the whole program in the dust.

One reason was it was believed Iran was still working on acquiring nukes and wasn't living up to the agreement. Iirc the US had to give advanced warning of an inspection etc.

Another reason is that Iran used the money Obama gave them to arm and support Hamas.

Those in favour of the deal said the deal was working and Iran was many years away from getting nukes.

And they said it was Iran's own money Obama gave back to them.

Can we see Israels Nuclear program? 
Asking for a friend.

The west is trying to oppress Iran because it refuses to play the imperialist regime's game.

DueTemperature398

We know it’s bullshit and we know Israel already has hundreds of nukes that it isn’t supposed to have.

IBoopDSnoot

Hey remember when the US caused all this by overthrowing Iranian democracy? 

And then literally handed a nuclear reactor and enriched uranium to Iran?

atotalmess__

Iran has the right to defend itself, and the best way to do that is nukes.


I imagine the nuclear program will now be happening in the shadows, thanks to American incompetence and belligerence. 


The US needs to shut the fuck up and sit down, nobody respects you fucking losers.

nilsinleneed

Iran has ablsolutly no reason to trust any agreement propasals.

Other-Comfortable-64

Iran cannot not become a nuclear state with Israel as a neighbour.
It's that simple .
Europe is an Israeli ally and their only goal is to make sure Israel remains the only nuclear power in the region.
Iran will do the only thing it can, they have no other options.
