Iran Uranium Enrichment ‘Right’: No Basis in International Law

Is President Trump gliding into his own version of President Obama’s Iran nuclear deal — the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that Trump decried as one of the worst agreements in the history of American foreign policy?

There are reasons to be concerned. To be fair to the president, his administration, unlike Obama’s, has destroyed or rendered inaccessible the physical infrastructure of the Iranian regime’s nuclear weapons program. It is, of course, impossible to erase the know-how Tehran developed over decades of deceit about its activities, but much of that is entombed after serial assassinations of regime scientists (mostly in Israeli intelligence operations).
