Question about Iran nuke deal

I have heard it from MAGAts and now Pompeo is pushing this full steam... that the Iran nuke deal gave them time to build up theirs economy and now we have to “correct” the mistakes Obama made... and of course they always point out with disgust that we gave them billions...

So my question is...

Was ANY concrete evidence EVER given to America that Iran was violating the terms of the Nuke deal, and that we were becoming less safe because of it? Keeping in mind that the nuke deal was meant to not completely stop Iran from running its militias but to keep nukes out of their hands.

In one of the 1st lines in it it said Iran will have any nuclear weapons to the
means to produce them.

The man who helped to write that deal is Ernie Moniz and he is one of the very best in the world about understanding
the issues. And if he isn't the best in the world then the # of people who are as good or better then he is a very short list.

The deal gave the I.A.E.A. (international atomic energy association) the right to inspect anyplace in
Iraq 24/7 too.

The deal also took away all means for Iran to produce weapons grade materials which are highly
enriched U235 and Plutonium. Iraq got rid of all of their advanced centrifuge and or breeder reactors.

When Trump says he has read the deal he is lying. Trump was and still is bothered that "the black guy"
got something done.
