Trump Reneges on Iran Nuclear Deal, Citing Non-Existent Violations

[Orgasmo]

While every international observer said Iran held up their end of the bargain, Trump is accusing Iran of non-existent violation of the deal. Looks like Trump is drinking that Israeli Kool-Aid again. Since EU, Russia and China all had a hand in crafting this deal, US might take a big credibility hit for refusing to honor its words.

US President Donald Trump has condemned Iran as a "fanatical regime" and refused to continue signing off on a landmark international nuclear deal.

In a combative speech on Friday, Mr Trump accused Iran of sponsoring terrorism and proposed new sanctions.

He said Iran had already violated the 2015 deal, which imposed curbs on Iran's nuclear capability in return for easing international embargoes.

International observers say Iran has been in full compliance with the deal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Mr Trump, who he said had "boldly confronted Iran's terrorist regime". Saudi Arabia also backed the US president's "firm strategy".

no, he said they are not living up to the spirit of the deal.

 

[Orgasmo]

no he said they are not living up to the spirit of the deal.

Except he explicitly said Iran was violating the deal when it was not, and made up more fake news to justify this childish act. This has Israeli and Saudi Arabia footprints all over it.

Trump accused Iran of committing "multiple violations of the agreement," despite the fact that the International Atomic Energy Agency, America's European allies and even his own government say that Tehran is complying with the 2015 deal agreed by former President Barack Obama and major world powers.

He said that Iran had "failed to meet our expectations in its operations of advanced centrifuges," and "intimidated" international inspectors into not using their full authority. He also accused the Obama administration of lifting sanctions on Iran under the terms of the deal at a moment when the Iranian clerical regime was about to collapse, an assessment that contradicts the views of many experts. He also ordered US intelligence agencies to mount a new assessment of Iran's compliance.

There is a country not living up to the spirit of the deal, and it ain't Iran. Renegading on deals when the other side held up their bargain paints you in a negative light. No one would believe any deal you sign from that point on.

Yukiya Amano, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN’s nuclear watchdog, issued a statement restating the agency’s finding that Iran was abiding by its obligations.

What a fucking chode. This is going to be used against us as leverage in every international deal until the end of time.

 

[kahiljabroni]

He's using leverage while we still have some. Otherwise It won't be long until Iran is NK 2.0

Well what little credibility US has built up after 2003 Iraqi invasion is now completely shot. Kiss any possibility of reaching a peaceful deal with North Korea goodbye too, since US won't abide by it whenever it feels like it.

What leverage? Iranians kept their promises and Trump decided to renegade anyway. North Korea is certainly not going to trust in any deal with US now that they know Trump will break them on a whim even if North Korea itself abides by the conditions. Now Iran and North Korea are certainly going to work towards nuclear and missile deterrence, seeing how devoid of credibility American promises are.

How so? You think they're going to renegotiate with us now? Do you think any country that does a future deal with us isn't going to use this as leverage against us?

So, the guy that always shouts "fake news" is spreading "fake news" LOL

Keeping your word is a noble pursuit...but that was Obama's word not trumps. Trump is now the POTUS and his primary duty is to ensure our national security. If he has to choose between doing so or breaking a deal with a future adversary I'm glad he made the tough decision.

 

[Prutfis]

This is one giant clusterfuck. Iran would be the best us ally in the me.

Yeah he's a wanker

No Country has leverage over us. We are currently the world hegemony and we'll continue to be as long as we stop making dumb fuck deals like the Iran deal.

The deal was signed on behalf of United States of America, not Obama the person. If every president renegaded on deals made by his predecessor, US would have no credibility left in the world and not a single country would sign any agreement with Americans. If Trump backed out of the deal because Iran broke its bargain, then it's understandable. The thing is Iran held up its bargain, confirmed both by EU and the UN. Now Trump is caught lying with his pants down while Saudi Arabia and Israeli are jerking themselves off behind the scene.

Trump did the same shit before he was POTUS. He would withheld previously agreed payment to building contractors when the project was completed, then threatened to drag them through the contract dispute process unless they agreed to a much lower amount. A lot of the smaller contractors caved in because they can't afford to go through it.

The man is a scumbag in business and he's bringing his scummy practices to the international stage. It's going to backfire spectacularly on US.

LOL.

You don't have to like this particular move, but spare us the whole "North Korea will never trust the US now!" bullshit, as if a deal with them was ever in the cards, and it's all Trump's fault for Un being an irrational lunatic, who was never going to be willing to negotiate.

Give it a rest with the "Trump just killed the world!" hysterics, every time he does something you don't like. It makes it hard to take your side seriously.

My side? You're dangling so much from Trump's nuts that you reek of his ball sweat.

Keep drinking that #MAGA Kool-Aid, since Trump has shot any credibility the US government had built up in the past decade. The repercussions go beyond Iran and North Korea, and will impact how others see US. A deal is a deal, and breaking deals without cause doesn't earn your friends on the international stage.

I think you overestimate our power. In every deal, there is a negotiation. During that negotiation, terms are agreed to. When terms are being discussed, it will be much more difficult to negotiate favorable terms when we are a party that knowingly didnt uphold a previous deal.

 

[AnGrYcRoW]

no, he said they are not living up to the spirit of the deal.

Which is a bullshit reason to walk away

How is this not obvious?

Do people believe that there was not a significant Hardline in Iran that did not want this deal

The moderate Iranians won on this one and they just got fucked over
