THE HALFAX HEIMDALL AUGUR

#7 is a major fail: "The United States of America undertakes to terminate all types of sanctions against...Iran." The JCPOA left most sanctions in place linked to Iran's human rights abuses, terrorism, and ballistic missile development. This MOU eliminates ALL sanctions and pledges no new ones.

In the end, the Iran war was a pointless conflict started by the fool who denied Obama's JCPOA. Iran says draft US deal includes oil sanctions waiver, nuclear limits and asset release www.reuters.com/business/ene...

The Obama-era Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was a landmark 2015 agreement that restricted Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. DJT is desperately trying to reinstate the JCPOA that he ripped up. That’s easier said than done!

Is the U.S. about to 'cheat' on the Iran nuclear deal? Here's how this could ... President Trump’s decision not to certify Iranian compliance with “the spirit” of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal, leaves the United States in a somewhat unexpected position. Trump effectively turned the JCPOA issue over to Congress to decide whether to reintroduce sanctions against Iran. Here’s the problem: Reimposing sanctions while Iran is in compliance with the deal would constitute a U.S. violation of the JCPOA. In most U.S. Arms Control debates, including agreements with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, the central concern was what would happen if the other side cheated. Would we see Soviet violations and catch them in time? Implicitly, the assumption has been that the United States would be complying, and carefully monitoring the other side for violations — our concern was about being the “sucker” not the “cheater.” Multiple analyses of the Iran deal decertification announcement look at Iran’s compliance details, and lay out possible implications and alternatives for what may happen next. I see a different set of implications, though,…

What Is the Iran Nuclear Deal? | Council on Foreign Relations Share Table of Contents Share Diplomacy to revive this arms control agreement has faced multiple stumbling blocks, including Iran’s nuclear advances and its links to conflicts in the Gaza Strip and Ukraine. Signed in 2015 by Iran and several world powers, including the United States, the JCPOA placed significant restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. President Trump withdrew the United States from the deal in 2018, claiming it failed to curtail Iran’s missile program and regional influence. Iran began ignoring limitations on its nuclear program a year later. Washington and Tehran have both said they would return to the original deal, but they disagree on the steps to get there. Introduction The Iran nuclear agreement, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), is a landmark accord reached between Iran and several world powers, including the United States, in July 2015. Under its terms, Iran agreed to dismantle much of its nuclear program and open its facilities to more extensive international inspections in exchange for billions of dollars’ worth of sanctions reli…

2015 Obama makes deal with Iran: Iran had to reduce uranium & dismantle 2/3 of its centrifuges. We lifted sanctions, unfreezing their own $. 2018 t1.0 rips up the agreement, Iran immediately began rebuilding their nuclear program 2026 t2.0 begins an illegal war with Iran & blames Obama.

#Fact: Under JCPOA terms, #Iran agreed to dismantle much of its nuclear program & open its facilities to more extensive international inspections in exchange for $Billions’ worth of sanctions relief. #Iran agreed not to produce the highly enriched uranium or plutonium for a nuclear weapon. (2 of 3)

Trump tore up Obama's JCPOA because Obama signed it. But it functioned because Iran enriches uranium to 3.67% for its nuclear power stations. Iran signed the Non Proliferation Treaty. It requires enrichment to 90+ % and underground detonations to miniaturize the warhead. No detonations happened.

Obama's 2015 JCPOA 15 yrs plan, Iran gave up 97% of its enriched Uranium & its high tech centrifuges, but 300Kg of 3.67% for power plants. Gave 100% IAEA inspection access to it's labs. Iran got it's $ & trade, while the Strait stayed open. In 2018, Trump reneged on all & reinstated Iran sanctions.

Iran War Live: Iran Proposes Suspending Nuclear Activity for Up to 5 Years www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04.... Iran agreed with JCPOA 2015 restrictions on enriching uranium past 3.67% until 2030. 2018 Trump pulled the U.S. out and imposed crippling economic sanctions on Iran. #WouldYouTrustTrump

My, you do have a selective memory. The US withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018, and never reentered the deal. In fact, the Biden Administration continued to impose sanctions on Iran, remaining hawkish and following the course set out by Trump in his first term. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_nu...

2015: Iran signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), accepting strict limits and inspections in exchange for sanctions relief. After 2018: Following the US withdrawal from the deal, Iran gradually expanded uranium enrichment again. Who encouraged the resumption of enrichment again?

Direct Timeline & Context2018 Withdrawal: Trump terminated U.S. participation in the JCPOA, re-imposing heavy economic & oil sanctions on Iran.Lack of Immediate Casualties: The act of ripping up the agreement in 2018 did not immediately result in the specific casualties or the 50% gas price surge 2

"Under the JCPOA, Iran agreed to reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium significantly and allow inspections, in exchange for relief from some sanctions. The Strait of Hormuz remained open." And F47 tore it up!!! #Stupid open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

The Iran nuclear deal, was an agreement reached in 2015 that aimed to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions. The deal imposed significant restrictions on Iran's nuclear activities to prevent the development of nuclear weapons, but TRUMP tore the deal up in 2018

This is insanity!!! USA gives Iran "at least" $300 BILLION dollars, removes blockade, and lifts all sanctions. Iran opens the straight of Hormuz "for 60 days only" and promises not to build nuclear weapons (this part will continue to be negotiated). HUH??? WHY DID WE DESTROY THE JCPOA????

Fact Sheet: The Iran Deal, Then and Now - Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation Updated June 2025 What is the Iran Deal or “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” (JCPOA)? On July 14, 2015, the United States and its international negotiating partners reached an agreement with Iran on its nuclear program: the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) or the Iran nuclear deal. The agreement was formally adopted on October 18, 2015, and would only go into effect after Iran completed several initial steps. As a part of the deal, Iran also agreed to implement the Additional Protocol , which is an expanded set of requirements for information and access to assist the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in its task of confirming that states are using nuclear material for solely peaceful purposes. The JCPOA was implemented January 16, 2016 after the IAEA reported that Iran had made the necessary changes to its nuclear program and granted the IAEA the access necessary to verify the agreement. In exchange, the United States and other world powers agreed to waive nuclear-related sanctions. In 2018, the United States unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal . Despite period…

Withdrew from the 2015 JCPOA (Obama-era nuclear deal) in 2018, calling it flawed: It had sunset clauses, didn't cover missiles/proxies, and provided sanctions relief that funded Iran's regional troublemaking (Hezbollah, Houthis, militias). Reimposed "maximum pressure" sanctions

America; it wasn't Obama's plan, although he was involved. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), aka the Iran nuclear deal, was a 2015 agreement between Iran & the P5+1 group—China, France, Russia, the UK, the US, +Germany—to limit Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.

This never should have happened in the first place. The U.S. unilaterally withdrew from the JCPOA deal under President Trump in 2018, subsequently reimposing sweeping economic sanctions. In response, Iran gradually stepped away from its commitments and resumed advanced uranium enrichment.

Under Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) negotiated between the US, China, France, Germany, Russia, UK & Iran, Iran agreed to reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium significantly & allow inspections, in exchange for relief from some sanctions. The Strait of Hormuz remained open. ⬇️

Obama's JCPOA mandated strict, verifiable limits on uranium enrichment, required the dismantlement of centrifuges, and forced the export of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile before major sanctions were permanently lifted.

In 2017, President Obama and 4 other leaders secured the JCPOA agreement that halted Iran's nuclear development program. Trump tore it up. Now Iran gets: - 60 days of no-nukes - Unfrozen assets - Dropped sanctions and a Redo after that. The US got nothing permanent but defeat. Pathetic.

Presumably the agreement would reinstate IAEA access. Iran was never in a disagreement with IAEA, they just wanted their JCPOA sanctions relief back. One minor problem is that Trump blew up the underground facilities so an unknown quantity of materials are buried 30 meters underground now.

2015: The U.S. and global powers negotiated the JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal), easing economic sanctions in exchange for dismantling parts of Iran's nuclear infrastructure.2018: The Trump administration withdrew from the JCPOA, re-imposing sweeping economic sanctions designed to force a renegotiation

“Obama’s Iran deal traded nuclear limits + inspections for releasing frozen assets. Trump withdrew and replaced it with heavy sanctions to push for a tougher, wider deal. One bet on verification, the other on pressure.”

Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), created by President Obama limited Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief & was implemented in 01/2016. However, Trump destroyed the deal in 2018, leading to increased tensions and Iran resuming its nuclear activities.

Under the JCPOA, Iran agreed to reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium significantly and allow inspections, in exchange for relief from some sanctions. The Strait of Hormuz remained open. Although inspectors said Iran was honoring the deal, Trump took the U.S. out of the JCPOA in 2018

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), signed by the Obama administration in 2015, restricted Iran's nuclear capabilities in exchange for sanctions relief. President Donald Trump officially withdrew the United States from the agreement in May 2018. 1

agreed to limit its development of nuclear-grade materials in its treaty with the Obama administration, which Trump revoked in 2018. So what has been accomplished? Iran now is under the control of a more extremist regime than when Trump started this war.

No they did not!The JCPOA was a brilliant,lasting treaty that GUARANTEED the Iranians would NEVER own,build,buy or acquire by any means,nuclear weapons. Trumps an arsehole for ripping it up with no understanding of its contents.It wasn't just Obamas deal,it was a joint agreement with allies!

It was Trump's cancelling the JCPOA that allowed Iran to exceed the limits of that deal and so process more uranium/plutonium. The only nuclear power in the Middle east is Israel. It refuses to sign the Non Proliferation Treaty or allow international inspections of its facilities.

The fool Trump ripped up the JCPOA. Now.. ➡️He said the proposed deal was better for Iran than the [2015 JCPOA] agreed under Obama that lifted sanctions in return for limits on its nuclear activities, because Tehran had shown it could CONTROL THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

With Obama's JCPOA, "Iran agreed to refrain from pursuing nuclear weapons and to allow continuous monitoring of its compliance in exchange for relief from economic sanctions. Different parts of the agreement were scheduled to last between 10 and 25 years; some elements were to last indefinitely."

Can someone tell me how this temporary 'deal' with Iran differs from the JCPOA? In Trump's deal, limitations on uranium enrichment have yet to be settled, and we're unfreezing $24B in Iranian assets (MAGA's gift). Iran was also delighted that a ceasefire involving Lebanon was included.

#Fact: Under JCPOA terms, #Iran agreed to dismantle much of its nuclear program & open its facilities to more extensive international inspections in exchange for $Billions’ worth of sanctions relief. #Iran agreed not to produce the highly enriched uranium or plutonium for a nuclear weapon. (2 of 3)

It's never been about nuclear weapons Iran may have. In 2015, under #Obama, the USA, UK, France, Russia, China, & Germany signed the #JCPOATreaty with Iran. The deal was designed to limit Iran's nuclear capabilities in exchange for relief from sanctions. #Trump withdrew from the treaty in 2018. (6)

IF TRUE: Holy fuck what a total clusterfuck. Iran was willing to downblend HEU & cap enrichment levels for sanctions relief (JCPOA!) & has already repeatedly pledged not to seek a nuclear weapon. Trump really fucked all this up big time. And, coming soon (maybe): Oman-Iran fees for passage!

JCPOA comparison here. According to this, upon completion of the deal, Iran will have a timeline for the removal of all sanctions. The JCPOA, since it only handled nuclear issues, only removed nuclear sanctions, and w. snapback mechanism. This looks like a much bigger concession on the US side.

The #JCPOA granted #Iran access to its own money. However, the agreement did not lift primary U.S. sanctions, meaning Iran was still blocked from the U.S. financial system and strictly restricted from using the U.S. dollar for global transactions. #Trump's surrender plan lifts all sanctions.

The 2015 JCPOA 15 yrs plan, Iran gave up 97% of its enriched Uranium & its high tech centrifuges, but 300Kg of 3.67% for power plants. Gave 100% IAEA inspection access to it's labs. Iran got it's $ & trade, while the Strait stayed open. 3 yrs after, Trump reneged ON ALL & reinstated Iran sanctions.

Trump unilaterally cancelled the 2015 JCPOA Iran nuclear deal in 2018 with the argument that Obama was giving them "pallets of cash" by lifting Iranian asset sanctions on $400 million in principal and $1.3 billion in interest. bsky.app/profile/atru...

We had a deal with Iran, negotiated during the Obama admin that limited Iran's enrichment of Uranium & lifted decades old sanctions. It was called JCPOA, it was supported by the EU, US, Germany, Russia & China & it worked Trump ripped it up out of hatred for Obama www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Trump’s Iran Failure: Obama’s JCPOA locked Iran’s program under strict limits & intrusive inspections. Trump tore it up in 2018, reimposed sanctions & had no replacement freeing Iran to ramp up enrichment. Result:fewer constraints, more volatility, lives lost, billions burned & zero durable gains.

What was in the Iran nuclear deal and why did Trump withdraw the US from it? - ABC News Iran's nuclear program is at the heart of its conflict with Israel. Nearly 10 years ago, the United States and other world powers reacheda landmark nuclear agreementwith Iran. Known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, the deal followed two years of negotiations. Then-President Barack Obama, who campaigned on resolving the Iranian nuclear threat, called the issue the "most consequential foreign policy debate that our country has had since the invasion of Iraq." Two years after the deal went into effect, President Donald Trumpwithdrew the U.S. from the nuclear accord, in one of the most significant foreign policy actions during his first term as president.

Inside the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal that Trump withdrew from PresidentDonald Trumpon Friday defended the continuedlack of a war-ending dealwith Iran by once again trashing the prior nuclear agreement brokered byBarack Obama, his predecessor and longtime political foe. "They've dealt with very weak and ineffective leadership on behalf of the United States" and others "that allowed them to get away with murder," Trump said of Iran in an NBC News interview. He was asked why Iran is still holding out in negotiations if they are desperate to reach an agreement, as Trump insists that they are. "It takes a little while … This should have been done long ago," Trump said when pressed. He then brought up the Obama-era nuclear deal — the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA — which Trump withdrew the U.S. from in 2018 anddid not renegotiate. "That deal was tantamount to giving them a nuclear weapon. It was a horrible deal given by Barack Obama, and really penned by him," Trump told NBC. "It was a horrible deal." It was hardly the first time Trump has excoriated the JCPOA, which was reached in 2015 by an international coalition including the U.S. "The DEAL that we are making…

The Obama nuclear deal, the JCPOA, prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon by cutting off pathways to weapons-grade materials.- July 2015 by Iran, the U.S., UK, France, Germany, Russia, China & the EU, to swap strict, verifiable limits on Iran’s civilian nuclear program for sanctions relief.

And Iran. Iran already agreed under the JCOPA not to produce a nuclear weapon, and to allow IAEA inspectors. Now they get sanctions lifted, $630B in reparation, no deal on Hamas, the Strait or on nuke material. And the US withdraws forces from the region.

"..Under the JCPOA, Iran agreed to reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium significantly and allow inspections, in exchange for relief from some sanctions. The Strait of Hormuz remained open. Although inspectors said Iran was honoring the deal, Trump took the U.S. out of the JCPOA in 2018.."

This is insanity!!! USA gives Iran "at least" $300 BILLION dollars, removes blockade, and lifts all sanctions. Iran opens the straight of Hormuz "for 60 days only" and promises not to build nuclear weapons (this part will continue to be negotiated). HUH??? WHY DID WE DESTROY THE JCPOA????

Obama's JCPOA followed a strict "compliance-for-relief" timeline. Sanctions were only phased out after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) verified that Iran had taken the required nuclear steps.

Trump's Claim About the Obama Nuclear Deal and Iran's Nuclear Development - FactCheck.org President Donald Trump has claimed that the 2015 Iran nuclear deal was “a road to a nuclear weapon” and the country “would be sitting with a massive nuclear weapon three years ago” if he hadn’t withdrawn the U.S. from the deal in 2018 during his first term. The multilateral deal aimed to restrict Iran’s uranium enrichment program, and experts told us that after the U.S. withdrawal, Iran accelerated it instead. It’s not possible to predict what would have happened if the agreement, called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and negotiated by former President Barack Obama’s administration, had remained in place. In addition to imposing restrictions on Iran’s enrichment of uranium, the deal required international inspections of the country’s nuclear facilities. On March 3, when speaking about the U.S. airstrikes on Iran that began Feb. 28, Trump said that Obama “made maybe the worst deal I’ve ever seen, because he gave all power in the Middle East to Iran, he went the exact opposite way, and I terminated that. If I didn’t terminate that deal, they would be sitting with a massive nuclear weapo…

2015: The JCPOA is signed between Iran, the U.S., and other world powers, placing limits on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. 2018: Trump says “No”. 2026: Trump starts unnecessary war with Iran. He can’t keep shooting and he can’t get a deal as good as Obama. Forever war.
