Reinstating sanctions that were withdrawn previously is not incentive for them to look at possible re-negotiation?
I was talking about forcing Iran into compliance. The Iran Deal gave Iran economic incentives in exchange for a significant reduction of their nuclear activities and capabilities. Now you take away these economic incentives and believe Iran is going to negotiate?
The Iran Deal was only possible through the combination of moderates on both Iranian (Rohani) and US (Obama) side. The story the Iranian moderates were able to tell was ‚See, talking and cooperating means we are better off‘. Now, the Iranian hardliners can say ‚We told you so. We shipped out our Uranium and dismantled our centrifuges for no good reason. We told you you cannot make deal with the American devil‘.
What does Iran stand to gain from negotiating? Why would they sign a deal involving the US again?
Crippling a country economically does not mean it cannot gain nuclear weapons. North Korea is the prime example here. The only way to make sure Iran cannot get nukes is by invading and toppling the government. Good luck with that.
