The US government comes out of a deal that limits Iran's nuclear program and reinstates sanctions. Reported by AFP, the decision was announced by US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (08/05/2018). Trump called Iran's nuclear deal in 2015 a disastrous and disgraceful to the United States, which it deems to be doing nothing to restrain Iran's nuclear ambitions. "I announce today, the US will withdraw from Iran's nuclear deal," he said in a speech at the White House.
In the midst of careful diplomacy by Britain, China, France, Germany, Iran, Russia, and the previous US administration, Trump called for a lasting new deal. "We can not prevent Iran's damaged nuclear bomb and the obsolete structure of the current agreement," he said. "We will not allow American cities to be threatened with destruction," he said. "we will not allow the regime that calls 'Death America' to gain access to the deadliest weapons on Earth," Trump added. National Public Radio reported that Trump justified his decision based on his views on disability in a nuclear deal.
He mentioned the agreement that ends in 2030 allows Iran to continue its nuclear development program. He argues, the agreement will trigger a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. "Everyone wants their weapons ready when Iran has nuclear weapons," Trump said, Iran's nuclear pact was made in 2015. The agreement says all economic sanctions against Iran will be lifted if the country halts all its nuclear enrichment program.
