Oh? Here’s some-not-so-pleasant news as you get ready for the Thanksgiving break:
State Dept: #IranDeal isn't legally binding and Iran didn't actually sign it.
Wonderful.https://t.co/dh65h6yFTr

.@StateDept says #IranDeal isn't a signed document, but a “political commitment” that Iran will uphold the deal https://t.co/XxQvfc7CNA

A “political commitment” in the words of Rep. Pompeo that’s “more appropriate for cooperation in illegal logging and clean cookstoves than a nuclear deal.” Wonderful.
National Review’s Joel Gherke has more:
President Obama didn’t require Iranian leaders to sign the nuclear deal that his team negotiated with the regime, and the deal is not “legally binding,” his administration acknowledged in a letter to Representative Mike Pompeo (R., Kan.) obtained by National Review.
“The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is not a treaty or an executive agreement, and is not a signed document,” wrote Julia Frifield, the State Department assistant secretary for legislative affairs, in the November 19 letter.
The rest here.
Suffice it to say, Tweeters aren’t amused:
So much for Obama's "big" "nuclear" "deal" with "Iran".https://t.co/mPgh7c11ev
