Nine Months Later, Trump’s Iran-Deal Withdrawal Is a Clear Success

quote:
Europe is coming to acknowledge and act on the nuclear threat posed by Tehran.

Despite howls of protest by the Left, the foreign-policy establishment, and European leaders, and contrary to misleading assessments by U.S. intelligence agencies, it is now clear that President Trump’s decision last May to withdraw the United States from the controversial 2015 nuclear deal with Iran (the JCPOA) was the right call and is a huge policy success.

Trump’s JCPOA withdrawal did not lead to war with Iran, as many critics predicted. Instead, Iran is far more isolated than it was when President Trump assumed office. The United States has worked to unite its Middle East allies, especially Israel and Saudi Arabia, against Iran and, in Warsaw this month, will co-chair an international conference with Poland on the threat from Iran. Iran’s economy is under unprecedented pressure thanks to reimposed U.S. sanctions, especially oil sanctions, with negative 1.5 percent growth in 2018 and an expected negative 3.6 percent growth in 2019. Iran’s current year-on-year inflation rate through last month was 40 percent.

Some Trump critics predicted that any effort by the president to reimpose U.S. sanctions lifted by the JCPOA would have little effect, since other parties to the agreement — in particular the EU, Germany, France, and the U.K. — would not follow suit. But numerous European companies have resisted pressure from their governments to defy reimposed U.S. sanctions. On January 31, European leaders announced a special finance facility to help European firms skirt U.S. sanctions on Iran, but that initiative is months behind schedule and few experts believe it will work.

it was working, before.

gunboat diplomacy only adds anarchy and chaos to markets.

it was not working

we saw the Iranians go so far as to grab our sailors and hold them prisoner

our new policy is hurting them financially and pushing them into a corner where they have to negotiate
of course, we ARE at 9 months, so many leftists will certainly be ready to abort...

it was happening; being willing to merely use gunboat diplomacy only works if you have exorbitantly expensive superpower.

They still have their nuke program. And now they have zero reason to not develop a weapon as quickly as humanly possible. Iran still supports terrorists around the globe and no reason to stop doing so.

There is no policy success associated with our withdraw from the agreement.

I

Sure they have their nuke program and anyone who thought they would stop their pursuit of a nuke is an idiot.

The billions Barry and Kerry gave them back paid for more research in their pursuit of a nuke.

The only winner in that deal was Iran.

Our withdrawal from the agreement was a wise decision. Even if a lefty loon like you can't see it.

The opportunity to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapons arsenal.

The success is no war with Iran as the OP states, and no weapon's of mass destruction to date, Iran isolated with little to no growth, it's people now in rebellion mode, and Israel breathing a little bit easier these days. We could go on, but you get the point right ?

Mmmm...we had that WITH the deal...you DO realize that, yes?

May have had a deal, but was it the right deal ? Many say no, and especially the ones who are in the immediate vicinity (the Israeli's), say no it wasn't a good deal. They should know best wouldn't you think ?

[basquebromance]

Iran is one of the few issues i know little about, but i noticed the Ayatollah said he was gonna make Trump meet the same fate as Saddam's during the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the revolution and Trump responded strongly on twitter

 

[basquebromance]

Trump comes and goes, Obama comes and goes, but Iran stays

a pill that costs 10K in America costs 300 bucks in Iran. there is no pharma mafia in Iran like in America.

a lot of European countries like Poland get their trucks from Iran. Iran is a superregional player in the region
