I did read it
No you didn't.
Or you didn't read your own source.
Or both.
Here's the treaty that Iran ratified that I know they kept. (There are others)
Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on their Destruction. Opened for Signature at London, Moscow and Washington. 10 April 1972.
The Islamic Consultative Assembly (the Parliament) of the Islamic Republic of Iran approved the bill presented by the Government to join the [said Convention] on 27 July 1997, and the Guardian Council found the legislation compatible with the Constitution and the Islamic Tenets on 30 July 1997, in accordance with its required Constitutional process. The Islamic Consultative Assembly decided that:
The Government is hereby authorized, at an appropriate time, to accede to the [said Convention] - as annexed to this legislation and to deposit its relevant instrument
Now, how many of the treaties in your so called source were ratified by Iran post 1980? You don't expect the post revolutionary Iran to keep promises made by the Shah do you?
By the way, as I said, there are other conventions besides the one I noted. For instance
Convention on the Rights of the Child
Now Iran was in contravention of the treaty, despite ratifying it but actually changed their laws to comply.
Although Iran is a state party to the Convention, international human rights organisations[26][27] and foreign governments[28] routinely denounced executions of Iranian child offenders as a violation of the treaty. But on 10 February 2012, Iran's parliament changed the controversial law of executing juveniles
.
This by the way is a convention that the US is almost the only nation in the world NOT to ratify.
The United States government played an active role in the drafting of the Convention and signed it on 16 February 1995, but has not ratified it because[citation needed] it forbids both the death penalty and life imprisonment for children (Article 37),[1] even though a state can legitimately ratify subject to reservations or interpretations. It has been claimed that American opposition to the Convention stems primarily from political and religious conservatives.[49] For example, the Heritage Foundation sees it as threatening national control over domestic policy[50] and the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) argues that the CRC threatens homeschooling
Its interesting that Iran's potential non-adherence to international agreements and treaties is a major issue with many American conservatives when they often regard International treaties and obligations as infringements on American sovereignty. And refuse to either ratify or abide by them.
Be that as it may, the nuclear agreement with Iran has more verification procedures and enforcement teeth than any they have signed before. Specifically so it can be
rigorously enforced.
And the option on offer from all on the right is renewed sanctions and negotiations. Immediately this puts Irans nuclear program out of the reach of any inspectors and relies upon the continued good graces of China and Russia and, the apparently weary of the US Europeans (based on the Germans recent comments) to renew and invigorate...
Essentially what conservatives want is to return to the Bush Doctrine on foreign policy that worked so well....
