That's what happens when the deal to ensure they don't do this is unilaterally torn up.

How exactly would have this joke of a deal prevented Iran from getting nuclear weapons?! Canceling this deal was a rational decision.

It did, for several years, as confirmed by multiple independent organizations. Until it was torn up unilaterally by the US. After that, US imposed additional sanctions (even though Iran still held its part of the bargain for years after US withdrew). Iranian public then became disappointed with the reformist movement and after the reformist PM Rouhani who was pro-deal (anti-nuclear), people said "fck it" and elected the conservative Raisi.

The JCPOA was flawed from the start. It allowed Iran to retain its extensive nuclear infrastructure (no dismantling of centrifuges or plants) and only imposed temporary restrictions on enrichment, nothing regarding warheads nor missile technology, plus the restrictions were set to expire after few years (in 2024!) too. They even allowed Iran to advance in advanced centrifugal research. It was a naive band-aid. The sanctions relief funded regional aggression instead of moderation. The agreement didn't block Iran's path to a bomb; it only delayed it. Plus the deal also freed up 6bn in assets that were likely used to finance further weaponization and nuclear research. It was naive as it can get.

So you're admitting the deal stopped Iran extending its program (another word for retaining the current program and imposing restrictions) which was "temporary" in exchange for "temporary lift on sanctions". What do you think happens when Iran wants to continue to be not sanctioned? The answer is the renewal of the deal, and the continuation of the restrictions on extending the program. This is like saying "I don't know what would happen in the future, maybe good maybe bad, therefore I'll choose the bad option to happen right away".

„Extending“ - it only limited it in some regards, but gave it ways to accelerate other aspects. Completely pointless and dangerous. Iran will never give up its program after what happened to Libya and Iraq.
