"Barack Obama Is to Blame for Iran. Here�s Why."

<https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/02/28/barack-obama-is-to-blame- for-iran-heres-why-n4950069>

"Americans woke up Saturday to something big. The United States and
Israel launched a massive joint offensive against Iran�s regime, known as Operation Epic Fury. According to reports, targets included Iran�s
supreme leader and president. Major combat operations are now underway,
and the implications are global.

Predictably, Democrats in Washington and even some Republicans are
questioning the strikes. But let�s be honest � this moment was long
overdue. Iran�s reign of terror didn�t start yesterday. In fact, this confrontation is the direct result of the Obama administration�s
disastrous decision a decade ago to appease, enrich, and embolden Tehran.

Barack Obama and his administration sold the world a fantasy with the
Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly referred to as the
Iran nuclear deal. This treaty was so bad that Obama didn�t even attempt
to get the Senate to ratify it. He just pretended it wasn�t a treaty and signed it unilaterally, claiming it as a foreign policy victory for
himself.

ICYMI: Trump Announces Major Airstrikes Against Iranian Regime

In fact, Obama was so desperate to make the deal a defining foreign
policy achievement of his presidency that the lies about the deal from
the left have never stopped. He told us it was a historic diplomatic breakthrough that would block Iran�s path to nuclear weapons. In reality,
it handed the mullahs a lifeline and a fortune. Sanctions were lifted.
Tehran gained access to roughly $150 billion in frozen assets, and there
was that infamous $1.7 billion in cash sent to the regime, much of it delivered on pallets in the middle of the night. Every step of the way,
Obama was emboldening Iran, not containing it.

It didn�t take long for Iran to show what a joke the deal really was.
Just three months after signing the deal, Tehran test-fired ballistic
missiles in open violation of U.N. resolutions. German intelligence later reported that Iran was still seeking technology for a military nuclear program. The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed repeated
violations of material limits � all while Obama kept reassuring us that
the agreement was �working.� Even he eventually admitted Iran was
violating the �spirit� of the deal, and that was as close as he�d ever
get to admitting that his deal was a sham.

And while Obama�s State Department was congratulating itself, Iranian
leaders were laughing. They bragged that the JCPOA favored Iran. Hassan Rouhani, then Iran�s president, boasted that the regime had used
diplomacy to buy time and advance its nuclear program. The Obama administration believed it was outsmarting Tehran, but in reality, it had
been duped.

It�s not as if the liberal media didn�t notice this either. The New York
Times even reported in 2015 that Iran had breached its enrichment limits before the deal was finalized. Inspectors found that while the Obama
White House claimed Iran�s program was �frozen,� the country�s nuclear stockpile actually increased by 20%. Iran was supposed to convert that material for peaceful use. Instead, they let it grow � and Washington
looked the other way.

By the time President Donald Trump took office, the JCPOA wasn�t the
safeguard Democrats claimed it was; it was just a smokescreen. Obama�s
grand achievement hadn�t restrained Iran�s nuclear ambitions one bit. If anything, it emboldened them to pursue nuclear weapons as never before.
The regime�s missile program accelerated, its proxies expanded across the region, and its leaders grew richer, bolder, and more violent.

Nevertheless, when Trump took office in 2017, he didn�t immediately pull
the plug. He gave the deal every chance to work. But by 2018, the
evidence was clear: continued violations, broken promises, and a regime
that had learned there were no consequences. So, in May of that year,
Trump ended the charade and withdrew from the deal once and for all. Of course, Joe Biden wanted to revive the deal when he took office. While he never succeeded, the message to Iran was clear: the Democratic Party
would always be there for the regime. If you want to know why
negotiations with Iran always failed, the answer is obvious: they had to
do was wait out Trump, and hope Democrats would be in power again.

Iran has been daring the world to stop it for years, and now, it is
finally getting what it deserves.

Iran�s reign of terror finally faces the hammer of justice with Operation
Epic Fury, proving Trump�s strength buries Obama�s shameful appeasement forever. Democrats whine, but real Americans cheer this overdue smackdown
on the mullahs. PJ Media stands as a vital conservative voice exposing

Trump should just sell missles to Iran
the way Reagan did. Negotiation always works,
right?

Does selling nuclear technology to

Eisenhower not Obama. Eisenhower overthrew the Iranian republic then
regime changed to a shah. Iranians were tad upset with the USA. They
supported the opposition which overthrew our shah and his beloved Savak.

Eisenhower did more harm to Iran than Obama, Bush, or Bush.

Thousands of men and women have been summarily executed during the last twenty-three years. More than 300,000 people have been in and out of
prison during the last nineteen years of the existence of SAVAK; an
average of 1,500 people are arrested every month. In one instance alone, American-trained counterinsurgency troops of the Iranian Army and SAVAK
killed more than 6,000 people on June 5, 1963. According to Amnesty International�s Annual Report for 1974-1975 �the total number of
political prisoners has been reported at times throughout the year
[1975] to be anything from 25,000 to 100,000.�
Martin Ennals, secretary general of Amnesty International, reports in
his introduction to the above book: �The Shah of Iran retains his
benevolent image despite the highest rate of death penalties in the
world, no valid system of civilian courts and a history of torture which
is beyond belief.�

I believe the number of political prisoners in Iran is still on the
rise. The number of announced executions in the first five months of
this year is more than eighty, while the number for the whole of last
year was less than forty. Assuming a proportional rate of increase, the
number of political prisoners this year must have at least quadrupled,
since the number of officially announced executions will have risen
fourfold.

Nothing could be further from the truth than to say that an Iranian
prison looks like a garden, or that Iranian writers are held in better
prisons than the other prisoners. All prisoners have a common destiny.
With twenty-six books to my name I was kept in a dark solitary
confinement cell of four feet by eight feet. There was nothing on the
floor except for a dirty old blanket. There was no bed either.

You can't be serious, can you?
The UN has done nothing to make things better. They have emergency meetings up the ying yang and
yet nothing effective ever gets accomplished.

They are a worldwide joke much like The League Of Nations was.

Correct.

...then Trump reneged on that deal...

Correct.
And the reason why is because the deal was a joke. Iran dictated when, where and how
the inspectors were able to inspect.

You cannot be this ignorant.

...then he claimed that they obliterated their nuclear capability...

Remains to be seen.
He obliterated what intelligence knows about Iran's nuclear capability.
They could and probably do have facilities elsewhere than intelligence knows nothing about.

Nit picking again.

At least Trump did something other than sending pallets of cash to Iran.
How well did that work out?

...and now he's started a war to get a nuclear deal.

Huh?
Iran started this mess and Trump and other nations are going to finish it.

Why don't you say anything about the Iranian leadership murdering 10's of thousands of their own people and imprisoning thousands more?
