Trump's Decertification Of Iran Deal Is A Brutal Mistake

President Trump on Friday decertified the Iran Deal, a significant deal made by President Obama during his second term in office.

What does President Trumps decertification mean? Well, it means that he does not support the Iran deal, but it leaves the deal in place. It is now up to Congress to decide whether or not to put sanctions on Iran.

President Trumps main criticism was that Iran was "not living up to the spirit of the deal.

The Iran Deal is not based on trust, but rather constant monitoring and inspections. The IAEA stated : "At present, Iran is subject to the world's most robust nuclear verification regime.

Trump has also stated that it is no longer in national security interest of the United States to keep the Iran Deal. This is demonstrably false, keeping nuclear weapons out of the hands of Iranians is beneficial to the United States, and that is precisely what the Iran Deal does.

The example that this will set for the world is a very negative one, especially now that we are in a very heated conflict with North Korea. This will deter North Koreas government officials from trusting the United States, as it could pull out of a deal, even if they are complying with it completely. It is very damaging for the United States diplomacy on a global scale.
