Analysts: Rouhani 'Losing Everything' Due to Trump
2018-05-09
Published before President Trump’s cancellation of President Obama’s unratified “deal” with Iran.
[AnNahar] Iran's President Hassan Rouhani staked his legacy on efforts to end decades of tension with the West. With the landmark nuclear deal unraveling, what hope is there for his political future?

Regardless of whether U.S. President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
 tears up the 2015 nuclear deal that was the centerpiece of Rouhani's diplomatic efforts, it is clear that the traditional animosity between the U.S. and Iran has returned for the foreseeable future.

#7  Is it crazy to think that Iran might have taken the deal because their weapons program wasn't coming along and the deal allowed them to get credit while freeing up resources to fight in Iraq/Yemen/Syria.

Obean never submitted it as a treaty to the Senate for ratification. He knew it was DOA if he did. Live by the pen, die by the pen.

#5  Never get into a deal with someone who declares they want to destroy you. And never stay in a deal with someone who says they will destroy you if back out of the deal.

#4  No mention Iran wasn't actually doing what it said in its part of the deal...

How surprising...

#2  The Iranians were smart enough to know the "deal" might collapse and got their payoff billions up front (heckuva job, Barry/Kerry!). Russia & China are very unlikely to reimpose sanctions, so I doubt the mullahs are really much perturbed.

#1  This is painting Iran leadership as moderates which is nonsense as Ben Rhodes bragged his big achievement was lying to the American people saying the leaders were moderates when they were hardliners.
