“Do we want Iran to have a nuclear weapon or not?” asks Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in a video making its way around the Internet. “The answer? No. So why is President Trump trying to make it easier for Iran to get a nuclear weapon?”

The remark, at once simple-minded and obnoxious, captures the thinking of many American liberals on the subject of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. It was the Obama administration, not its critics, that made it easier for Iran to go nuclear by capitulating to the regime’s every demand in exchange for empty promises not to pursue its weapons program.
