>>The structure of the deal gave a way to rationalize not seeing, which means some people will rationalize.

We're not dealing with inert subjects in negotiating partners. There is a strong motivation to counter nuclear proliferation and hold Iran to the spirit of the deal, which again is why I find your fears to be hyperbolic.

>First, because the restrictions were temporary, starting to expire in this term.

All restrictions, or some?

I'm saying US position adopted by Trump and his allies undermined diplomacy and harmed cross-Atlantic ties.
