In other words, setting it back by a fraction of the time that this deal will set it back. Meanwhile, we have ensured that iran will not try to race ahead and build a bomb. Third, we could pull out of negotiations, try to get other countries to go along and continue sanctions that are currently in place or add additional ones and hope for the best. Knowing that every time we have done so, iran has not capitulated, but instead advanced its program. Charlie sanctions will be removed pending on irans compliance with the deal.
