In a statement Tuesday following President Donald Trumps announcement that he would withdraw from the Iran deal and re-instate sanctions on Iran, former President Barack Obama called the decision a serious mistake.
Without the JCPOA, Obama wrote, the United States could eventually be left with a losing choice between a nuclear-armed Iran or another war in the Middle East.

(10,303 posts)The reasons why Trump abandoned the Iran Nuclear Deal are:
1. Undoing Obama's work,
2. Pandering to Benjamin Netanyahu,
3. Pompeii and Bolton told him it would be a good idea.
But #1 seems to be key here. After all Trump has put sanctions back on Cuba, exited Paris, tried to dump the ACA... The thing here is if Obama did it, Trump is against it and will want to undo it.

One or more of them will put an end to all this craziness.
