Although Trump gave no explicit evidence that Iran violated the deal, he said Iran had clearly lied

Oh. You mean the ones that can only inspect when and where Iran tells them? Those inspectors? Yeah. I'm sure they've been completely transparent with them.
Despite US criticism that the accord does not go far enough in monitoring Iran’s activities, the IAEA says the JCPOA has given it much wider access to Iran’s nuclear facilities, pointing to the fact that its inspectors now spend 3,000 man days per year on the ground there.
The agency says it has attached some 2,000 tamper-proof seals to nuclear material and equipment, and that it has access to “hundreds of thousands of images captured daily by our sophisticated surveillance cameras,” the number of which has almost doubled since 2013.

Do you dispute the fact that (1) inspectors cannot access or inspect military sites, and (2) can delay inspections at permitted sites by as many as 24 days?
1. yes, I dispute that
2. iran can delay for 24 days, but the U S and other signatories can slap sanctions on them again almost, if not altogether, immediately.
Under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty’s “Additional Protocol,” the IAEA may ask for “managed access” to any site, including military, but a country can legitimately bar access by tying the U.N. nuclear watchdog up in endless negotiations.
This deal aims to close such loopholes with a process under which Iran would give access or otherwise allay IAEA concerns within 24 days, a time frame experts say is tight enough to keep it from sanitizing unauthorized nuclear work.
Iran and the IAEA have 14 days to resolve disagreements among themselves. If they fail to, a joint commission comprised of eight members - the six major powers, Iran and the European Union - would consider the matter for a week.
A majority of the eight could then inform Iran of the steps it would then take within three more days.
Majority-rule means the United States and its European allies — Britain, France, Germany and the EU — could insist on access or any other steps and that Iran, Russia or China could not veto them.
“This almost inevitably means inspections but without saying so. That’s why diplomats make the big bucks,” Perkovich added.
Nonproliferation experts said the regime falls short of the “anywhere, anytime” inspections demanded by critics of the deal, including many Republicans, but said that would only be possible in a country that has been defeated militarily.
From your source: "Iran has argued that inspections of military sites would violate national sovereignty, although the 2015 deal it signed with the United States and five other world powers allows inspectors to gain limited access to any site where illicit nuclear activity is suspected."
Theoretically, yes, that's what it was intended to do. The problem is that it's not being given. How hard is that to understand?
It shouldn't be given, since there are no reasons to believe the sites need inspected. How hard is THAT for you to understand.
Yeah. 'Cause they've been so open and transparent.
You aren't unintelligent, but you have no common sense whatsoever.

And you simply refuse to acknowledge anything that factually contradicts what you want to believe. Cheetos's administration has twice certified that Iran is in compliance with the deal. The IAEA? has declared that Iran is in compliance with the deal and has no reason to ask for access to other sites than what it inspects now. With that much known, what is the advantage of breaking the deal? Answer: there is none.
The fact they can be "in compliance" with the deal and still claim to reach 20% enrichment in days is precisely what made it a bad deal.
The fact they haven't reached 20%, and haven't built nuclear weapons is why it's a good deal. It doesn't have to be a perfect deal to be a good deal.
But is that just shit talk? Because right now all they have is the ability to talk shit.
