Tillerson Was Fired for Rogue Bid to Save Iran Nuke Deal

Dont let the door hit you on the way out.

In the weeks leading up to Tillerson’s departure, he had been spearheading efforts to convince European allies to agree to a range of fixes to the nuclear deal that would address Iran’s ongoing ballistic missile program and continued nuclear research.

While Trump had prescribed a range of fixes that he viewed as tightening the deal’s flaws, Tillerson recently caved to European pressure to walk back these demands and appease Tehran while preserving the deal, according to these sources. The Free Beacon first disclosed this tension last week in a wide-ranging report.

White House allies warned Tillerson’s senior staff for weeks that efforts to save the nuclear deal and balk on Trump’s key demands regarding the deal could cost Tillerson his job, a warning that became reality Tuesday when Trump fired Tillerson by tweet.

Tillerson will be replaced by CIA Director Mike Pompeo, a former member of Congress who established a record as being tough on Iran and echoing many of the policies called for by Trump. Insiders expect Pompeo to take a much harder line on the nuclear deal and pursue many of the fixes advocated by Trump, such as outlawing Iran’s ballistic missile program and instating fierce repercussions for any future breach.

The Free Beacon. Lol
Infowars not carrying this story yet?
We have a deal to prevent Iran from getting Nukes... but since this carefully crafted deal came from the Obama Administration Trump wants to undo it. His pettiness is making us more unsafe.

 

[Dschrute3]

The Iran Deal was a terrible deal for the US. But it is a deal. Trump has no choice but to abide by it. Just another awful mess Hussein left him.

Yes he was, since he was honest enough to call Trump a “ fucking moron.”
No honesty permitted in this White House.

Mouthing his fuhrer’s exact words. The Iran deal had multiple allies involved in the process of preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and it’s been working.
Trump won’t stand for anything that’s working that came from Obama.
One of the reasons he hired Pompeo was because he’s weak and will do anything Trump tells him to do.
Tillerson worked for the country and was mostly competent. Another thing Trump won’t stand for. Having competent people around him.
He’s only looking for YES men.

I think the OP is actually correct in that Tillerson continually got in front of Trump on where FP should go. Putin poisoning the ex-spy, negotiations in NK, Nato ... and Iran. Doesn't matter who is wrong or right. Calling your boss a moron is never a good idea, even it it's true. LOL

Trump's abandoning the Iran deal will not alter anything. And whether you liked it or not, it beats a war.
