If the Left has TDS, Trump certainly has ODS.

There is a big difference and a problem between "releasing frozen assets" and delivering pallets of cash in foreign currency in secret.  Iran may have "committed to restrain from nuclear development" according to their words at the time, but their actions indicate otherwise.

I kind of anticipate another "Stuxnet" kind of thing happening real soon.

I tend to think that Iran was abiding by the terms of the deal.
The deal did release a lot of frozen assets to them.
The hope was that they would use these things to improve their economy and buy lots of stuff for lots of other people just to improve daily life.
Obviously they ended up investing way too much of it and nefarious, below a board activities in Gaza, in Lebanon, in Syria, in Yemen, etc.
The approach, from the beginning, should have been that they need to stop both the nuclear development and the proxy wars.
But they did stop the nuclear development.
