While the departure of the United States from the deal might not immediately cause the whole thing to collapse, that is plainly what Trump wants. If our goal is actually to avoid Iran having nuclear weapons, how on earth does pulling out of the JCPOA accomplish that?

It’s obvious that Trump has only the vaguest idea of what the agreement does or how it works.
