Fact Check: Joe Biden Claims the Iran Deal Was ‘Working’

Breitbart:

CLAIM: The nuclear deal with Iran was “working” before President Donald Trump withdrew from it in May 2018.

VERDICT: False. The deal allowed Iran to become a nuclear power on expiration, and Iran never ended nuclear research.

Former Vice President Joe Biden said at the Democrat debate Tuesday night that he would return to the Iran deal, and claimed that President Donald Trump had precipitated the current confrontation with Iran by leaving the agreement.

He said:

I was part of that deal to get the nuclear agreement with Iran, bringing together the rest of the world, including some of the folks who aren’t friendly to us — and it was working. It was working, it [Iran] was being held tightly. There was no movement on the part of the Iranian government to get close to a nuclear weapon. And look what’s happened. He went ahead and it was predictable from the day he pulled out of the agreement, Trump, what exactly would happen. We’re now isolated. We’re in a situation where our allies in Europe are making a comparison between the United States and Iran, saying both ought to stand down, making a moral equivalence. We have lost our standing in the region. We have lost the support of our allies. The next president has to be able to pull those folks back together, re-establish our alliances, and insist that Iran go back into the agreement, which I believe with the pressure applied as we put on before, we can get done.

Almost every part of that statement is false, except for the part about Biden taking credit for supporting the Iran deal. read more

    Hey man, I have a device that keeps elephants outta my backyard that works magnificently!
    The fact that there happens to be no elephants roaming around North East Ohio is completely irrelevant!
