How so?

The 24 March deadline is the THIRD deadline from the deal Obama made with Iran..

Iran ignored the first two deadlines, yet they still got sanction relief..

What do you presume to be the purpose of those sanctions? These sanctions, by the way, were the most muscular set of sanctions ever put on Iran by the international community, a direct result of the hard diplomatic work of the Obama/Biden administration, I would hasten to add.

And they threw away all that hard work by giving Iran relief from the sanctions at the EXACT moment the sanction were having the desired effect..
