| Jan 15, 2020 at 8:53 | comment | added | Jontia | @Joe the issue is not whether the US could withdraw, the issue is whether Iran should remain bound by an agreement that the US has withdrawn from. I wouldn't expect anyone to "internally understand" that the agreement they were making only worked one way. | |

| Nov 6, 2019 at 16:12 | comment | added | Joe | @PhilS Several US Senators sent a letter to Iran detailing explicitly why the deal was not regarded as a treaty in the United States and warned them that as such, a future President could withdraw from it at any time. If they didn't have that internal understanding then it was only out of deliberate ignorance. | |
| Nov 6, 2019 at 14:26 | comment | added | Jasper | @OganM Everything is a choice. That said, one side (the non-Iran side) is not holding up their end of the bargain. Countries other than the US can't change that, but it's definitely questionable if the other side (the Iran side) should hold up their end of the bargain, if the other side is not going to provide the full benefits promised. | |
| Nov 5, 2019 at 21:41 | comment | added | OganM | @PatriciaShanahan I don't see how it is not their choice. They don't have an obligation to favour US in this matter. There would be consequences but they choose to dishonour their treaty to avoid the consequences. | |

| Nov 5, 2019 at 15:12 | comment | added | PoloHoleSet | @PatriciaShanahan - Yes. If Iran agreed to the terms of the agreement in exchange for concessions and lifting of sanctions, and the US backed out and is now forcing other nations to bend to the US's wishes, from Iran's perspective, why should they be the only nation that has to abide by the agreement? I think it's unrealistic to think that any nation would accept that. Furthermore, when you look at conditions like the amount of uranium they can stockpile/have on hand, a mechanism was built for them to export enough to stay under the limit. That mechanism has been shut off, for example. | |

| Nov 4, 2019 at 21:43 | comment | added | 264 champagne bottles on ice | @Joe: I agree with PhiliS. See more discussion in the 2nd part of my answer on another question politics.stackexchange.com/a/32810/18373 | |
| Nov 4, 2019 at 21:14 | comment | added | PhillS | It's not a treaty in terms of how it was implemented in the US legal framework, but it is a treaty in the colloquial sense of an international agreement signed by two or more countries. The treaty / non -treaty distinction is a peculiarity specific to the US, and I doubt that e.g.Iran's internal legal structures make the same distinction. | |
| Nov 4, 2019 at 21:01 | comment | added | Joe | The JCPOA is not a treaty. It's non-treaty nature is very relevant to exactly how the Trump administration was able to quickly withdraw from it. | |
