SO HE’S FINALLY done it. Having spent the past three years denouncing the Iran nuclear deal as “horrible,” “disastrous,” and “insane,” Donald Trump arrived in the Diplomatic Room of the White House on Tuesday afternoon to formally announce that “the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal” and would “begin reinstituting U.S. nuclear sanctions on the Iranian regime.”
“This will make America much safer,” the president declaimed, jabbing his fingers at the assembled reporters.
[...]
So let’s be clear: On the one side, we have a dizzying array of serving and retired generals and spy chiefs from both the United States and Israel, none of whom are friends or fans of Iran, yet all of whom agree that the Islamic Republic is complying with the stringent terms of the JCPOA, and that the United States should stay in the deal because it bolsters U.S., regional, and global security.
And on the other side? A former property developer and reality TV star; a chicken hawk who wants to bomb everyone; a 32-year-old Gulf prince who can’t win a war against rebels from the poorest Arab country; and an allegedly corrupt politician who has been claiming Iran is “three to five years” away from a nuclear weapons capability since … 1992.
This isn’t about security or protecting American — or Israeli — cities from Iranian missiles. Trump & Co. aren’t trying to avoid war with Iran. They want war with Iran

Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford, who says, “Iran is adhering to its JCPOA obligations” and a U.S. decision to quit the deal “would have an impact on others’ willingness to sign agreements

Made my day that Trump triggered the triggerables and gave the middle finger to the global elite! What makes it more delicious is seeing those who support Antifa being upset!
Why he brought Bolton on I will never know. I hope Bolton gets the boot soon!

I think you just answered your own question on why Trump brought Bolton on
Seems like that is the rule of thumb. Put folks in the spotlight and they basically terminate themselves from their own jobs. And sometimes in doing so , incriminate themselves. Saves Trump time and two words "you're fired"

That was the way of Mujahedin support. You're conflating cloak and dagger tactics with diplomacy there.

Conspiracy, opinions, mud and cusses... please!?
I think the Iran Nuclear Deal was a big step on the road to war, not peace. It was a tool which could be later used to accuse Iran of violating and therefore justifying military action.
If Iran has no agreement to begin with, it does no good to accuse them of having nuclear weapons. In that regard, they are as safe as Israel. As safe from the US, that is.
Conflating ?

Israel wants this Iran deal. The MIC wants the deal
Are we to believe that they all want a deal that will result in Iran not being attacked?

Iran was already threatening to back out, so trump just decided it for them sooner, i think this is more about trump declaring "i won't be manipulated nor will i play your games like the past foolish presidents".
we've been made a fool of way too often diplomatically for the past 24 years before trump, living in a false peace brought about through arrogance, greed and cowardice.
