If a deal is “largely negotiated,” the question is what it trades away. Conservatives are right to worry about verification with teeth, credible deterrence, and whether Tehran is rewarded for escalating. A rushed agreement can look like diplomacy while quietly weakening our leverage and extending the conflict.
