The deal’s prohibition “doesn’t lie in missile booster or nonnuclear warhead design, or range-payload,” said Anthony Cordesman, an expert on Iranian missile capabilities at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. “It only applies to actually developing and deploying a nuclear warhead for a given missile.” In other words the deal covers nuclear activities and not everything else they may do like building an aircraft or truck or railcar that may be able to carry the weight of a warhead. Missiles are used for air defense and other purposes. I am not sympathetic to Iran’s politics but “the deal” clearly has limits and does not cover every activity they engage in.

I’m waiting for the GOP to complain that the agreement should tell them what their courts can and cannot do.

One of the differences between democracy and authoritarianism: Rule of Law instead Rule by Law.
