OPINION:
When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed Iranian duplicity with respect to Iran’s nuclear program, he was preaching to the converted (“The Iran nuclear deal begins to crumble,” Web, April 30). This is much ado about nothing new, since the P5+1 took Iranian mendacity into strict account when fashioning the inspection regime that is part of the JCPOA.
The nuclear agreement with Iran that slows its development of atomic weapons is a bad accord for many reasons. President Trump is right to force the issue now and he does not need a primer on Iran and its penchant for lying. The president must decide if it is better to scrap the agreement altogether and reimpose sanctions, or try to amend the agreement as our allies prefer.
