I think your assessment of the outcome of said smoking gun is unrealistic. The scandal described would have massive political repercussions that would go far beyond any letter of the deal.

Why would it inevitably need to be renegotiated?

By honoring the deal and working with other countries on a new one if/when it's needed.

The structure of the deal gave a way to rationalize not seeing, which means some people will rationalize. That was a bad policy error, hopefully it will remain only a policy error.
>Why would it inevitably need to be renegotiated?
First, because the restrictions were temporary, starting to expire in this term. If these are needed, then they will be needed in the future. After all, The regime hasn't changed. Second, because there were other issues between everyone and Iran and not resolving these will lead to the same results as in the past.
>By honoring the deal and working with other countries on a new one if/when it's needed.
The US position is the one that matter here, so lets discuss that. The US isn't going to let other countries decide its foreign policy.
>>The structure of the deal gave a way to rationalize not seeing, which means some people will rationalize.
We're not dealing with inert subjects in negotiating partners. There is a strong motivation to counter nuclear proliferation and hold Iran to the spirit of the deal, which again is why I find your fears to be hyperbolic.
>First, because the restrictions were temporary, starting to expire in this term.
All restrictions, or some?
>If these are needed, then they will be needed in the future. After all, The regime hasn't changed.
Regimes change all the time. It's entirely posssible the Iranian regime will moderate over time. Agreements like the Nuclear Deal make that more likely.
>The US position is the one that matter here, so lets discuss that.
I'm saying US position adopted by Trump and his allies undermined diplomacy and harmed cross-Atlantic ties.
