"The 2015 nuclear agreement had placed the Iranian program under the most rigorous international oversight ever implemented. Had this agreement been in place in 2025, when the United States and Israel bombed Iranian nuclear facilities, Iran would have only been able to acquire one-fifth of the material needed to produce enough enriched uranium for a single nuclear weapon."
"If Iran is any closer to the threshold of nuclear weapons, it is because of President Trump's decision to withdraw from the agreement. Throughout President Trump's second term, Iran would not have come close to developing nuclear weapons and would have remained under the strict supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency."
Ali Vaez believes that President Trump's withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran was a significant error that contributed to the current conflict. The agreement had imposed strict oversight on Iran's nuclear program and lifted economic sanctions. Vaez argues that had the agreement remained in effect, Iran would have been limited in its ability to develop nuclear weapons. He asserts that the decision to withdraw has brought Iran closer to the nuclear threshold, undermining international oversight and increasing the risk of war.
