IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL: Should the United States Remain in the Iran Nuclear Deal?
SUPPORTERS ARGUE
The Iran nuclear deal is the best way of preventing Iran from building a nuclear weapon. Dismantling the agreement would alienate U.S. allies and undermine U.S. credibility. It would also embolden Iran to spurn further negotiations and race to build a bomb. A military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities would likely unleash a disastrous regional war.
OPPONENTS ARGUE
The Iran nuclear deal will fail to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon. Iran has violated the spirit of the agreement and worked to undermine U.S. interests in the Middle East. The United States should impose harsher sanctions, maintain a threat of military force, and work with dissidents in Iran to topple the nation’s oppressive regime.
