Nice letter, albeit a little too concise
Concerning your editorial “Iran’s Pre-Deal Deceptions” (June 10): The JCPOA, or Iran nuclear deal, addressed every concern regarding any peaceful nuclear work conducted by Iran. After two years of intensive negotiations all parties were satisfied that all issues, including the possible military dimensions (PMD) file which was closed by IAEA in 2015, were addressed. Your implication that they were not is fallacious, and presumably not endorsed by those countries that not only signed on to the deal, but continue to remain participants.
To suggest that the U.S. should keep its so-called “new leverage built by maximum pressure” is inhumane and unjust because the maximum pressure policy is nothing more than keeping the illegal sanctions in place with the aim of putting pressure on the Iranian people.
This policy has certainly affected our economy and prevented—through its bullying tactics and illegal extraterritorial sanctions—other countries from conducting normal trade with Iran, but Iran is most assuredly not on its knees, is not begging for renewed negotiations and will not ever negotiate its entirely defensive missile program or its legitimate regional national interests.
