Iran has been continually in violation of U.N. sanctions, they’ve taken U.S. sailors into custody and used photos and video of them for propaganda purposes, and the Ayatollah Khamenei recently said he prefers missiles over negotiations.
In spite of all that, President Obama’s still talking up the foreign policy “legacy” that is his administration’s nuke deal with Iran, this time at the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, DC:

The “deal” really sounds like it’s taken away all avenues for Iran to develop a nuke … in the next few months anyway:
Pres Obama hails Iran Nuclear Agreement as "historic." Even if Iran cheats, he says it would now take a year for Iran to make a nuke weapon.

It would take them a year to make a nuke if they “cheat”? That’s, um, good news.
Oh a whole year? That's a relief. https://t.co/2yYKicBDmW

If you think about it, that’s 364 days before we even need to start to worry about it! Obama’s legacy would be sealed, but the next president’s, not so much:
.@markknoller So, basically Obama is openly admitting it's the next POTUS problem. Nice.
— Sandy (@RightGlockMom) April 1, 2016
@markknoller So is he considering it a success bc it won't occur while he's in office? Smh.

@markknoller A year? The world feels so much safer now.

@markknoller : "HISTORIC"…is not always good. Think about that a bit.

@markknoller What? This was supposed to eliminate them from having a weapon? Hey, Bibi – sorry bro!

Whenever Iran decides to make nuclear bomb can put 1 together in 1yr?We gave $150b &removed sanctions for 1yr delay? https://t.co/xljSBIKPzm

@markknoller I can't determine if this means "Won't be my problem" or "Get your affairs in order". #ThanksObama

Yep, sounds historic. Also sounds like you lied about that whole "ten years" part but whatever. https://t.co/t3exBeVpA7
