To the editor:

It's amazing that Iranian officials still have the chutzpah to claim their nuclear weapons program has nothing to do with nuclear weapons.

And it's amazing that a The New York Times article blames Iran increasing its nuclear capabilities on America's pulling out of the fatally flawed nuclear deal that Iran violated from the get go.

Even more amazing, even though President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry assured us all that there would be an instant, automatic snapback of sanctions if Iran violated its commitments. Iran is now publicly exceeding the limits to which it agreed, yet all the other signatories to the JCPOA rejected that automatic sanctions snapback.

The JCPOA sure was an amazing deal.

Sincerely,

Alan Stein
