Trump Abandons Iran Nuclear Deal He Long Scorned
Keywords: Trump Iran, Iran Nuclear Deal, Iran Sanctions,

President Trump announces the U.S. withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear Agreement of 2015 signed by president Obama. He calls it a bad deal and "a one sided agreement, that "didn't bring, calm, didn't bring peace, and never will." Since the signing of the agreement the conflicts in the Middle East have increased and relations between the U.S. and Iran have deteriorated under the Trump administration. During the election campaign candidate Trump and Republicans had criticized the deal and deal never gained Republican support. It was also not initially supported by France which called for stronger safeguards on nuclear weapons development.
The appointment of John Bolton as National Security Adviser, and Mike Pompeo as the new Secretary of State, who were strong critics of the Iran nuclear deal also influenced president Trump. He was also influenced say aides by the success of his policy with North Korea of imposing strong bargaining pressure with tough sanctions on North Korea including Chinese sanctions, which led to the talks between North and South Korean presidents and the planned Trump meeting with Kim Jong-Un of North Korea.
Iran's president Rouhani says Iran will stay with the agreement as the EU countries Germany, France plan to support the agreement. This could also leave an opening for future talks with Iran on a new peace agreement as president Trump talked about Iranian people deserving a better deal at the end of his 11 minute announcement.
As Stephens points out in a op-ed in the NYT Iran's economy needs the removal of sanctions so that focus could shift to economic development, as the lifting of sanctions have yet to result in increasing living standards and building infrastructure neglected during the sanctions years.

What the Iran nuclear deal of July 2015 achieves and does not achieve- the different goals of Iran and the Obama administration in the U.S.
07/18/2015
It achieves the narrow goals of the Obama adminsitration, and for Iran it provides a way to protect the Islamic revolution by easing conditions for the people, says one expert. The Obama administration may be thinking in the short term of 8-10 years, the Ayatollah may be looking much longer term to continue the way Iran is governed today by religious leaders.

Lifting of economic sanctions and implementation of the Iran Nuclear deal in Jan. 2016
01/16/2016
As Steven Mufson reports in the Washington Post, the lifting of sanctions is likely to lead to a slow increase in exports of oil, only 400,000 in the first 6 months, because it is in Iran's interest not to depress prices further than $30 a barrel. Foreign companies will also take a gradual approach to foreign investment in Iran because of remaining sanctions and the slowly improving economic outlook. This creates breathing room for all sides to assess the new situation after the landmark nuclear agreement amid tensions about ballistic missile tests.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
