Three falsehoods drive this staggeringly ill-conceived negotiation: that the JCPOA was working, that “maximum pressure” failed, and that this is just a return to the old deal, not a new one. What dangers do these falsehoods pose, what flaws does the expected deal include, and what is the better course of action?
