Thanks for reading and leaving a comment. It is tough to gauge how people in Iran felt and feel about the deal, because it is tough to get good reporting and news from that region. That is ridiculous. I would feel cheated. I do feel cheated by our politicians here too. I was reading a report that the money wasn't injected into the economy instead it went toward corruption.

I think the U.S. only partially cares about the program.

1. It is a good mechanism to drive fear here in the U.S. because we have nuclear and Islamophobia. That way, the public isn't outraged when we participate in conflicts and proxy wars in the middle east and the U.S. military can do what it wants.
2. Only our allies (except Russia) have nuclear weapons and I'm sure they want to keep it that way. Israel is a driving force in that because Iran and them are sworn enemies. They have attested that Iran gets nukes and Israel is off the map.
3. To make the world safer. There are hard-line politicians in your country that yell death to america and burn our flag. Same for isreal. I think it's logical that another country wouldn't want those individuals to have nuclear weapons, whether people ever think they would do it or not.
   Although If Iran did manufacture nuclear warheads they would pose no immediate threat to the U.S. They would have to develop ICBM's and that is more difficult then the bomb itself.
   But yes, you're right, the U.S. has thousands, but until Trump no serious government official has threatened that destruction of another country since that cold war and even then, not in the same way. I would like the U.S. to have a lot less of those weapons.
