Every past president since Bill Clinton, Republican and Democrat alike, has declared that Iran couldn’t be permitted to develop nuclear weapons. Not one acted to prevent it

In 2015 Obama negotiated a nuclear weapons treaty with Iran called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in 2015. It limited Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, ensuring that Iran would not develop nuclear weapons for at least a decade. Iran was keeping tp the deal until Trump killed it.
