How Trump blindsided Netanyahu with his Iran nuclear gamble

 [UANI Senior Adviser] Dennis Ross, a former negotiator under both Republicans and Democrats, said that any new agreement must go further than the JCPOA by imposing a permanent, structural change in Tehran’s nuclear capabilities - shrinking its infrastructure to the point where developing a bomb is no longer a practical option. “Anything less would leave the threshold threat intact,” he told Reuters. . . . Former negotiator Ross points out the contradiction: Trump abandoned the JCPOA for being too weak, and as a result now faces a reality where Tehran stands at the threshold of nuclear weapons capability. “Accepting a deal that mirrors or softens the original would be politically indefensible,” he said, suggesting a deal must slash centrifuges from 20,000 to 1,000, ship out all enriched stockpiles, and impose intrusive, penalty-backed inspections.
