They were happily taking pallets of cash from the US...

You make it sound like taxpayer money. It was their cash, released to them after having been frozen for many years.

while merrily building ballistic missiles (which the stupid deal didn’t address at all)

True. It didn't. Wasn't meant to.

as well as cheating with uranium enrichment

Evidence? Inspectors found -at most- minor violations, if that.

Face it...given the situation, it was the best deal we could have hoped for. Unless you invade the country, you can't really control it. They could have thumbed their noses at us, and enriched to 90%+. But they didn't. We loosened our grip a bit, they gave a bit to get that. It's what a "deal" is. You almost never get everything you want from any deal.

Dope was right. Again.

You haven't been right in a long time. I don't mean that as an insult. But you haven't written much on this board that was correct, and others have provided evidence that you were wrong. I don't think you're unintelligent, but you have really bad sources of information.
