This part is just wrong. The IAEA has continued to report on Iran as best they can, but their monitoring equipment has been removed and there have been no inspections for over four years.

I also think it’s pretty common knowledge that Trump tore up Obama’s agreement. I still think it should be mentioned more, as well as Biden’s 180 on his campaign promise to reinstate it.
