Trump Withdrawing from the Iran Deal Makes the World 'More Uncertain'
Karl Vick

Years ago, the international effort to roll back Iran’s nuclear deal was driven in no small part by the thinly veiled threats of Ehud Barak. As Israel’s defense minister, Barak spent much of 2012 with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu persuading the world to actively fear that Israeli warplanes would be dispatched to deal with Tehran’s nuclear facilities, if the rest of the world did not do so first— and fast.

This marshaled the political will by world leaders, who produced the most rigorous and effective sanctions on a state in modern history, forcing Iran’s government to the negotiating table. The resulting 2015 six-party deal rolled back Iran’s nuclear program without firing a shot, barring the Islamic Republic from enriching uranium for at least a decade and keeping U.N. inspectors in the country in perpetuity.

President Trump’s Tuesday announcement that the U.S. was abandoning the pact and re-imposing harsh sanctions was applauded by Netanyahu, who termed the deal “fatally flawed” because it allowed Iran to begin resuming elements of its program in 2025. But Barak, the former Israeli army chief who served as prime minister from 1999 to 2001, says Trump should have left the deal in place. “In the end, I didn’t like the Iran deal, but it’s part of the rules on which the world is working, and without any rules, the world becomes much more uncertain, much more open to miscalculations,” Barak told TIME by phone Tuesday, shortly after Trump’s announcement.

The world may be more "uncertain", but Trump withdrawing from the ""deal"" that Iran was not abiding by isn't responsible.  Iran is responsible for its own actions.... and they are a murderous, terrorist-supporting, America-hating regime.   

They burned the American flag before and they burn the American flag now.  The only real thing that has changed is ... now it's Iran that's "uncertain" ....whether or not Trump will kick their collective @sses.  I'm betting he will.


No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.
