Trump to Make ‘Strategic Mistake’ If Cancels Iran Nuclear Deal – Military Aide

And President Obama, speaking at a news conference on Monday, said that while Trump will have the power to tamper with the deal, he considers it unlikely to happen.

This is an outright lie.

Martin predicted that a “fracture” might emerge between congressional Republicans and Trump, “a populist and a nationalist” who used “the Republican Party’s political machinery to run”.

Now that Trump is president-elect, is there anything he can actually do to torch the landmark agreement?

However, the Weekly Standard said that Trump must enforce the provisions of the deal regarding the breaches by Iran.

Opposition to the U.S. has remained a central plank of Iran’s foreign policy, despite last year’s nuclear deal. Iran has shown no willingness to reopen talks on an agreement that has reduced its diplomatic isolation and opened the way to fresh foreign investment, although it has failed to bring about the sweeping economic improvements Rouhani promised.

Apart from the ISA, the nuclear agreement’s longer-term future became more uncertain when Republican Donald Trump was elected president on November 8, and Republicans kept their majorities in both the Senate and House of Representatives. Iran already has new business interests, including deals with US -based Boeing Corp. and the E.U.’s Airbus to buy dozens of passenger jets.

The report was produced by the National Iranian American Council, a Washington group that has advocated improved relations with Iran, even while sharply criticizing Iranian leaders over human rights issues.

“Russia has always been a key backer of the Iranian regime – including of its nuclear ambitions”, Ilan Berman – vice president of the Washington, DC-based conservative think tank the American Foreign Policy Council – said. This violates its commitments under the nuclear agreement to obtain worldwide approval for all nuclear purchases. But doing so wouldn’t nix the JCPOA entirely because of the deal’s multilateral nature. But Trump took up contradictory positions on the deal over the course of his campaign, at times promising to tear it up and at others suggesting he would simply amend it.

“When you’re not responsible for it, I think you can call it a bad deal”, Obama said. “They felt hamstrung, I think, before”. “Had Senator Corker done so in this case, the Iran Nuclear Deal would never have passed the Senate”. The administration made huge concessions that allowed Iran to dismantle worldwide sanctions without dismantling key elements of its nuclear program, which continues to advance.

As a candidate, Trump frequently denounced the nuclear deal, a signature foreign policy achievement of the Obama administration that went into effect in January.

“This specific transaction has been carefully reviewed by the Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control to place conditions that minimize risk that the aircraft would be diverted from legitimate civilian aviation purposes”, said Rep. Denny Heck.
