The graph here illustrates this nicely.When you quoted Planigale, you omitted the sentence I am highlighting below:
What Planigale wrote is true. Iran did agree to limit its enrichment of uranium, and to allow verification by IAEA.

Trump is now using bunker-busting bombs to try to undo the disastrously failed foreign policy of his first term.
