We knew 15 years ago that Iran had a nuke program that was not exclusively civilian in its objectives? Then why did we enter into an agreement that was predicated on Iran being truthful about the nature of its nuke program?
If you think that the JCPOA was an honest effort to get Iran to give up its nuke program, you're the gullible one.
And the missles are irrelevant? Kerry and Obama knew they couldn't get a deal if Iran's missle program was on the table. But taking it off the table, given Iran's ambitions for its nuke program, was the equivalent of agreeing to shut off Niagra Falls, but any discussion about the water is off the table.
