Trump had 4 years to bring Iran to the table with his strategy. Absolutely noting happened.

He killed Soleimani, which is fine with me. Still mainly irrelevant. These guys are interchangeable. Terror is Iran's game, not direct warfare. So, unless we actually invade, that argument is moot.

With Trump at the helm, Iran was back to advancing their nuclear weapons program. So, Trump failed on the main issue. Before Trump, they were moving away from creating nuclear weapons. Trump always thught he had a better plan, when he never had a plan at all.

People seem to forget that Iran retaliated for Soleimani and seriously injured 109 U.S. troops (brain injuries). Trump did nothing. If Biden's actions resulted in over a 100 severe injuries of U.S. troops and no consequences, conservatives would be livid.

Just more proof that Trump screwed up so often and so egregiously, that his supporters are scrabbling for any minor BS to blow out of proportion. They are still whining that Iran's frozen assets have been returned, because they have nothing substantial to blather about.

The end game here is to bring Iran into the international fold, not force them into a corner and have them build a huge nuclear arsenal. Which is where they were heading under Trump's "plan".

Got news for ya, Iran was cheating during the agreement and there is plenty of evidence. So nothing has changed except now it is being funded again!

IT is called sanction, to force their hand.

Yup. The UN inspectors had to give advance notice, and certain locales were off-limits entirely.

Before Iran sees a penny or we enter into a new “deal” with the Islamic State, three conditions should be met:

1) They need to release all American hostages. (Disgusting how Obama made a deal and left our people there.)

2) They have to allow anywhere/anytime inspections. (Ridiculous how Obama was OK with loopholes.)

3) They need to stop calling for Israel’s destruction and funding Islamic terrorists. (Terrible that Obama turned over a fortune to an enemy terrorist country that calls for destruction of an ally.)

You can throw all three of those points back to the USA.
