Could Trump trash the Iran deal? Yes, but it's complicated
Oren Dorell , USA TODAY 8:01 a.m. EST November 10, 2016

President Elect Donald Trump has mocked and decried the nuclear deal the Obama administration negotiated with Iran ever since he started running for president.

In September 2015, he said he would “renegotiate” the agreement, reached two months earlier, which curtailed Iran’s nuclear program to peaceful activities in return for the lifting of crippling sanctions over time.

Vice President-elect Mike Pence said the deal would be “ripped up” after consultation with U.S. allies.

Pro-Trump Hawks like Bachmann and Bolton almost seem to want to go to war with Iran per their stories, maybe that Ralph Peters as well.

I don't think the American public want this.

It's one thing to protest the agreement when it was in the process of being signed. It's another thing to just want to scrap it immediately.
