> Also, Iran didn't even let inspector into all of the enrichment sites they had, so they were breaking the original deal with Obama from the start. I should point out that this view is not unanimous. Using Politifact as a source [1]: "We reported in 2017 that Iran had largely complied with the deal, and many experts praised the pact for keeping nuclear weapons out of the hands of Tehran. Over the 28 months the deal was in effect, the International Atomic Energy Agency said it found Iran committed no violations, aside from some minor infractions that were addressed."

Tabatabai, visiting assistant professor at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. "Just as Iran believes there have been hiccups on the U.S. side." My understanding is that Iran was largely complying with the treaty by the time Trump decided to scrap it. [1] https://api.politifact.com/article/2025/jun/18/Iran-nuclear-...
