WNU editor: When one considers the history behind the Iran nuclear deal. The enormous lengths and accommodations that President Obama went through to get this deal finalized .... even when Congress was adamant that they were not going to support it .... and then have it ripped up in the matter that it was done today .... it was quite a sight to see this afternoon. President Trump did not only attacked the fundamental ideals behind the deal, but he called out Iran as the world's greatest sponsor of terrorism. I have never heard Presidents Obama, Bush, or Clinton talk like this when it came to Iran. And throwing out President Obama's number one foreign policy achievement, and explaining why .... wow .... there are going to be political consequences from that.
The fallout is going to huge. In the U.S. .... President Obama and his former officials are beyond livid right now, as well as many in the Washington foreign policy establishment. France, Germany, and the U.K. are in a conundrum .... they support the Iran deal, but U.S. sanctions will now make doing business with Iran moot. Russia and China will continue to do business with Iran .... but it will not be that easy. Oil prices and how Iran exports its number one product will be facing added costs and difficulties. The political position of the Iranian President is now precarious, and the Iranian economy is going to be hit .... even though the Iranian economy is already in a mess .... Iran economy a mess even before Trump verdict (AFP). And in regards to the big question .... will Iran ramp up their nuclear program? I do not know the answer, but spending billions on a nuclear weapons program that will only guarantee international sanctions is not the road that Iran can afford right now .... both economically and politically. But the mullahs in Tehran have always marched to a different beat .... even if it means more suffering for its people.
