That's not correct. They were willing to agree never to pursue nuclear weapons from jump, before the war. What the Administration wants them to agree to is to not have any domestic uranium enrichment program. They don't trust the Iranians to have domestic uranium and simply agree they won't use it for nukes.
No they weren't. Getting a nuke has always been a priority for them.
That doesn't "help," because once you abstract to that level it's useless.
Only if you don't understand what "power projection" actually means in the context of the Iranians.
But it's still a good question.
It was a bad question. We want them to swear off trying to restart their nuclear weapons programs. Your phrasing is an attempt to restate your point that 'knowledge never dies and there's nothing we can do to stop them from doing anything'. Were that the case we should never open talks with anyone, ever, on a whole host of subjects.
But if the military operation doesn't prevent them from trying again in the future hence the talks in Pakistan this weekend.
