you're right tat they have violated the npt article 3 by failing to declare their enrichment in 2003, they agreed to the npt in 1968 (pre revolution). we (well, the american gov) believes they broke article 4 (but the proof is circumstantial).

there's no guarantees this works, but i do believe it's worth a shot, if it fails, the sanctions come back with full international support (if we kill the deal now, only partial sanctions would remain in all likelyhood), and if we fish for a "better deal" we likely get no deal (and again, only partial sanctions).

Just for a moment, does any of this really make....common sense to you?
How does it go?
"Make Damn sure boys, we ain't buildin' no Nukes cause we done said we.....woon't, and Allah knows you can trust the good ol' PLM's. and don't forget to bomb those F..n Pig Israelis' to dust on Sunday...Americans on Tuesday"
Allahu Akbar....In the meantime, strap a few bombs to some children down to the Walmart....
And BTW, these same Sanctions that Obama has maintained IS the reason we need this agreement (they are the only reason Iran is at the table at all) are far stronger now than if we have to reinforce them later as they are NOT retroactive.
Soooo, IF they do not work now, how will they work later (and they will be weaker)?
