John Kerry in the New York Times --
We were working with allies to deepen sanctions on Iran for its involvement in Yemen, its transfer of weapons to Hezbollah and its actions in Syria, its human rights violations, its threats against Israel and its ballistic missile program. The nuclear agreement would have been justified if it did nothing more than prevent Iran from building a bomb. But it also created opportunities for the United States to bring pressure on Iran on other issues.
What is the evidence that the nuclear agreement had any positive impact on Iran's "actions" in Syria? Like Susan Rice a few days ago, Obama-era senior officials are being permitted a massive blind spot on the carnage in Syria which continues to this day.
