Critics of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Monday exposé on Iran’s secret nuclear weapons program have argued that it contained nothing new — no smoking gun that proved the Islamic Republic violated the terms of the nuclear deal it struck with six world powers in 2015.
It was well known that Iran had a covert nuclear weapons program, European governments and other defenders of the deal noted, adding that it was precisely Iran’s history of dishonesty that necessitated the landmark deal with its provisions for an unprecedentedly intrusive inspection regime. Indeed, Tehran appears to be complying with the operative provisions of the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. As far as is known, Iran has not, for example, resumed enriching uranium to weapons-grade levels. However, Iran certainly violated the spirit of the agreement, by lying over its past efforts to build a nuclear weapon. Iran was obligated to come clean over those efforts, and failed to do so. The deal, the Mossad’s findings clearly show, was thus born in sin.

Everyone that wants to perserve the JCPOA has made the statement that Iran has honored the agreement. They have not. This is the best article I have seen that refutes that.
Ping.
pluz - just give it up already.
Everyone knows the Likud has a obsession with Iran. It a joke.
Everyone also knows Bibi’s secret dossier is frigg’n a decade old. It old news
The Likud makes a laughing stock of themselves
Fixed
Ba-ba-ba-Bomb Iran.... Nuke’em back to the stone age ...
Yes, but did they INTEND to violate the deal?/s
It is an obsession. When a foreign power that is withing driving distance threatens to destroy you and is fomenting terrorism around the world to do so, then yes, it is an obsession. What do you propose? That they just ignore the threat? Just let them carry out their mission while your sons and daughters are murdered? That sounds a lot like a Kerry/Obama solution. Just ignore and it will go away. I have spent significant time in Israel, sometimes months on end, and perhaps when you actually witness a missile attack within sight of you, it does make you a little obsessed about your enemies.
Not wanting another war, but Iran kinda has it comin to’m.
Of course Israel has no ulterior motive, like wanting to suck the US into yet another one of its never ending wars, this time against a much larger and more powerful country. Not one single American life should be lost defending any single country in the Middle East, including Israel.
It also implicates Zero and his lap dog Kerry.
Negotiating with bad faith? It will kill any deal . . .
The Iranian gov‘t has never “ vowed to destroy Israel “
Likud fake news
I obviously don’t agree with your assessment. Iran has bellowed “Death to America. Death to Israel” since 1979. Do you think that they are kidding? This response is for those who might wonder how you could support this statement. I doubt that you could be persuaded with facts. Here are a few other opinions:

sorry dude - but your translations are so far off to be bald faced lies
