Jamie McIntyre’s Daily On Defense

ALSO TODAY: The group United Against Nuclear Iran is noting another anniversary – two years since the United States withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, better known as the Iran nuclear agreement, negotiated under the Obama administration. “President Trump made a courageous decision to withdraw from the JCPOA two years ago. Its legitimization of Iran’s right to enrich uranium and sunset clauses compromised the security of the United States and its allies,” said former Sen. Joseph Lieberman, who is chairman of the group, and Mark Wallace, who is CEO. “Because of a concession the U.N. Security Council made when it endorsed the JCPOA, Iran is now claiming it has a right to the lifting of the international arms embargo … in less than six months from now,” Lieberman and Wallace write. “The U.S. government should use all diplomatic tools at its disposal, including invoking the snapback provision under Resolution 2231, to re-impose international sanctions on Iran. It remains the only viable option to bring Iran back to the negotiating table.”
