Dem Rep. Moulton: Trump Is ‘Begging for a Deal’ with Iran; ‘He’ll Be Lucky if It’s as Good as the One that Obama Had’

EXCERPT:

MOULTON: “No, no, they were not farther along. The JCPOA, the very first line of it said Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, and they were further away from enriching enough uranium to actually produce one than they are today. On top of that, the Trump Administration, the very first Trump Administration, including a whole bunch of Iran deal critics, certified that Iran was following the deal. And that wasn’t about trust. That’s because we had intrusive inspections, constant electronic monitoring. Trump is now just trying to get back to that. And it’s patently obvious that this bombing campaign from last summer did not obliterate their nuclear weapons program. That’s why Trump can’t go 12 hours without talking about how important it is to eliminate their nuclear weapons program. So we’re in a worse position today. They’re closer to having a bomb. They have more enriched nuclear material. We do not have inspections. We do not know where everything is. Some of it’s under rubble. But we’re not quite sure. That’s why Trump is now going back and begging for a deal that he’ll be lucky if it’s as good as the one that Obama had and that he tore up.”
