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

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.

I'm sure, some would take this article to task but it is still something.
It's like with North Korea, we can't say it's definitely worked out but it seems it's quite a bit better than it was and they are not firing off missiles, they are not threatening others. It's not a done deal but in my estimation, a better situation.

Sad to think that the next republican or democrat president will reverse Everything.
