• The European Union has presented Iran with a new draft text that aims to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. The document, which has not been made public, presumably offers additional concessions to coax Tehran into rejoining the agreement.

• In May 2022, for instance, Iran reached a new dangerous and destabilizing threshold: its stockpile of uranium enriched to 60% reached 42 kilograms, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

• In June, Iran removed 27 surveillance cameras from its nuclear facilities. The move came after the IAEA censured Iran for not answering questions about uranium traces found at three undeclared sites.

• The EU's continued appeasement of Iran also comes amid a violent crackdown against civil society in the country. Human rights groups have blasted the EU for its unwillingness to hold the Iranian government to account.

• The EU appears to be sacrificing human rights on the altar of financial gain.

• "If we simply cling to the idea that continued negotiations will somehow lead to resolution, we'll be sleepwalking as we did with Russia, allowing a hostile power to take advantage of diplomacy while pursuing increasingly aggressive actions against us and our allies.... " — Nicola Beer and Peter Neumann, "Iran: Time for a Plan B," Politico, July 21, 2022.

All 3 of my Neurons came to together, and an ACTUAL thought/question occurred to me. When was the 1st time you read the words (or something similar) "Iran Close To Acquiring Nuclear Weapons!"  mid 2000's? Yet here we are 15 years later Still reading/hearing Iran is Close to Getting The Bomb". America started   The Manhattan Project in August 1942. By August 1945 we had 2, And no one knew how to do it. North Korea withdrew from the NPA in 2003, they had a Bomb in 2006. So my question is What The Hell is Going On?
