Given that the administration believes that the Iran deal will not stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons (and that Iran has no intention of not acquiring nuclear weapons), and will not prevent it from becoming the greatest power in the Middle East, it’s not surprising that they aren’t worried whether the “Iran nuclear deal can be saved”.
