iran actually did that. they kept adhering to the conditions of the deal - even after trump pulled out, and still america imposed additional crippling sanctions on them. funny how facts have a habit of getting in the way of those silly narratives that are trying to justify america's actions in the middle east...
also, why is a deal that demonstrably stopped iran's whole nuclear program 'weak'? that deal was more than any reasonable and realistic person could have expected, so i would really like to hear an argument based in the real world as to why it was 'weak'. 'because obama made it' might be a common sentiment amongst you people, but that doesn't mean it holds any merit.

Iran is set to breach the 2015 nuclear deal for a second time in as many weeks as it ramps up its demands for sanctions relief.
The country broke a key limit set by the nuclear deal for the first time days ago, stockpiling more low-enriched uranium than it is allowed to. Now, Tehran is vowing to follow through Sunday on its threat to increase the level of enrichment of its uranium — a more serious breach that some experts say will bring Iran closer to obtaining a nuclear weapon.
The moves are adding volatility to an already precarious situation in the Middle East, where U.S.-Iran tensions remain at a fever pitch.

The news was not unexpected. Iran announced in May it was quadrupling its uranium production capacity and announced in mid-June it would exceed the stockpile limit by the end of the month.

Iran Breaches the Nuclear Deal and UN Resolutions for Third Time
05/15/2016 02:09 am ET Updated Dec 06, 2017

Iranian leaders have breached both the resolutions and the nuclear agreement for the third time since the nuclear deal went into effect in January 2016. Iran has repeatedly test-fired, long-range ballistic missiles and laser-guided surface-to-surface missiles.
In October and November, just after the nuclear deal was reached, Iran tested a new ballistic missile capable of carrying multiple warheads.
Quote
In March, Iran again test-fired two ballistic missiles.
More recently and for the third time, the Iranian government fired a test missile two weeks ago which was accurate to 25 feet, which is characterized as zero error, according to the Brigadier General Ali Abdollahi, the Iranian military’s deputy chief of staff, and Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency.
The range of existing Iranian ballistic missiles has grown from 500 miles to over 2,000 kilometers (roughly 1,250 miles), which can easily reach Eastern Europe as well as countries such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Yemen.
