Clinton strongly supported the P5+1 negotiated deal to prevent a nuclear armed Iran and helped build the international coalition to thwart Iran's nuclear ambitions. But she knows that Iran is not our ally. Clinton understands that our "distrust" of Iran, as she phrases it, has not changed, and that verification of the steps Iran is required to take under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is crucial. As president, she'll hold the line against Iranian noncompliance, including penalties "for even small violations." She knows that Iran is a country that seeks justice by hanging lesbian and gay Iranians from cranes and is one of the world's worst abusers of human rights. Its support for terrorism, recklessness on the international stage and repeated calls to destroy Israel all point to just how naïve and even dangerous the notion of normalization remains.
