Since you want to keep harping on the treaty, it was not a permanent fix, it was only meant to slow down not abolish Iran's nuclear program. That's why Netanyahu spoke at the US congress asking them to not ratify the treaty. The only thing that works is to not let them sell their oil.   

You have heard of something called ‘Diplomacy’?

 

And ‘Netanyahu’…. now there’s a man who can be trusted to make wise and considered decisions, not!

Just for the record. It wasn't a treaty. Just an agreement. But it was an amazing achievement. The Obama Administration actually got Russia and China, among others, to subscribe to it.

As Houthis vow to fight on, U.S. prepares for sustained campaign

The Biden administration is crafting plans for a sustained military campaign targeting the Houthis in Yemen after 10 days of strikes failed to halt the group’s attacks on maritime commerce, stoking concern among some officials that an open-ended operation could derail the war-ravaged country’s fragile peace and pull Washington into another unpredictable Middle Eastern conflict.

“We are clear-eyed about who the Houthis are, and their worldview,” a senior U.S. official said of the group, which the Biden administration designated this week as a terrorist organization. “So we’re not sure that they’re going to stop immediately, but we are certainly trying to degrade and destroy their capabilities.”

UPDATE: US and UK launch fresh strikes on Houthis

This is the eighth strike by the US against Houthi targets in Yemen. It is the second joint operation with the UK, after attacks were carried out on 11 January. US fighter jets from the carrier USS Eisenhower were reported to be involved in Monday's strikes.

Ten days after the first carefully calibrated joint air and missile strike by the US and UK, the Iran-backed Houthis remain defiant.

They have continued to launch a variety of projectiles at shipping passing Yemen's coastline, in one case mistakenly targeting a ship carrying Russian oil.
