If not, America and Israel will have to remain vigilant for years. By Reuel Marc Gerecht and Ray Takeyh Share Resize Listen (3 min) President Trump meets with White House officials during Operation Epic Fury at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 28. Daniel Torok/The White House/Associated Press With his decision to bomb Iran again, Donald Trump finally put the nail into arms-control diplomacy with Tehran. Negotiations started in 2002, when an Iranian opposition group revealed the clerical regime’s previously clandestine nuclear-weapons program. The French, British and Germans, fearing that George W. Bush might try to down another member of his “axis of evil,” started talking. The Iranians joined. They, too, feared Mr. Bush. For Tehran, nuclear diplomacy had overwhelmingly been about deterring the U.S. and Israel—and acquiring sanctions relief and the time required to build long-range ballistic missiles, a well-armed proxy empire, and industrial-scale uranium enrichment. They got all of the above through Barack Obama ’s nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Copyright © 2026 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
