Former Army Ranger Nicholas Irving recently weighed in on America’s ongoing conflicts and the controversial Iran nuclear deal. Reflecting on the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA), Irving highlighted how Iran drastically reduced its uranium stockpile after the deal but rapidly expanded weapons-grade enrichment following the U.S. withdrawal under President Trump in 2018.

Irving bluntly criticized America’s cycle of warfare, noting, “We fight the battles that we create,” referencing how the U.S. has historically funded and armed groups that later became adversaries, including Al-Qaeda and ISIS. Regarding the latest deal, which would release $300 billion in frozen Iranian assets, he expressed deep skepticism, warning these funds likely empower terrorism rather than peace efforts.

“The war ends, and then we pay," Irving stated, emphasizing America’s struggle to exit conflicts effectively without inadvertently financing future enemies. His candid insights underscore the complex, often self-perpetuating nature of U.S. foreign policy and conflict.
