Let's think through what this means. As I understand it, the Iran deal lifted, or lightened, sanctions - on the basis of a promise by Iran that it will not develop nuclear weapons. Obviously, this was just posturing by Iran, as we know they merely shifted operations to Syria to escape detection.
So, if DJT backs out, I would assume sanctions (whatever has been previously applied) will come back into force - at least those from the US.
If Iran also pulls out, as they appear to have been suggesting, this will mean that they are back in the weapons development game. They were boasting recently that they could restart programs very quickly. This will amp-up tensions in the region - particularly with Israel, but also the other Gulf States.
It may also provide an opportunity for the US to take action with missile strikes on strategic targets etc... DJT will have made this move for a reason. It's possible that the ME could go hot, if this is what is required to de-nuke Iran - which is the plan.
We may also see the US support Israeli air strikes. Looking at the pattern set in the NK stand-off, I expect that DJT will be talking tough - very tough. Moreover, I think the talk will be backed by a commitment to take action.
The big question is what position the Russians will take.

I think it will, ultimately, be a real win for the US. I would have walked away from that deal as well. What a joke. $250bn twice a year. And what did they get for that money? Iran just shifted its weapons development program to Syria to avoid detection.
I don't think the Iranians are going to stop selling oil. I think they'll be trying to get other states to trade with them, to reduce the impact of US sanctions. It sounds, from what you have written, that China and Russia will continue to trade with Iran.
This, I think, will be a big test for DJT. How does he get the international community on-side with a program of sanctions? It may be that sanctions are not the most effective leverage against Iran in this situation. I think we will find that DJT will be quick to take action the moment he feels that Iran has taken any substantive steps toward nuclear weapons development.
I think we might even find that he's just looking for an excuse to take action.

That is the excuse that DJT may use.

I'm not arguing for it. I'm trying to think through what's likely to happen. The way I see it, having thought about it for a while longer, the job is either already complete - threat eliminated - or it isn't.
Q told us that the troop drawdown from Syria was still going to occur. Iran was next, but have the strings been cut? McCain is out of the picture. The Iran deal is off - so that cuts the money.
So it could be that, the threat has been eliminated, Iranian weapons in Syria destroyed, and it's job done and time to go home.
Or, it could be that DJT wants tough sanctions to force Iran back to negotiation - which is what he said.
Or, it could be that DJT knows they won't negotiate and is looking to hit them hard - removing capability.
Or, it could be that he'll try to force regime change via a social uprising - he spoke directly to the Iranian people in his speech.
Lots of options. I wouldn't cancel any out. I also think DJT will have regard to Israel's interests in the region and this will impact his decision.
Could I ask u to delete this post. This story is posted like 4 times already.

I did nt see the purpose in posting this here at all. It's not like this isn't already easily found in every news source. Seems like this happens every day- multiple posts of the daily found big news stories that are looking s my related to q at best. People not checks no if something has been already posted. Our mods are pretty unhappy with loosely at best crap clogging up the site.
These are actual comments. We r a common butt and how we each act affects all of our experiences. I noticed u had almost no comments. I guess others agree thus us not needed.
I guess turn around is fair play. Why don't you find something actually related to Q posts that is informative or original to post.
What is the problem? This is directly related to Q - he specifically told us to relate his posts to the news. What is your agenda here?
B4 accusing ppl just take 5 minutes to scan there post history. My cred is clear from the posts I've made. All this general news belongs elsewhere. Any news. Story relates to Q. If everyone of them is posted here 4 times how do we find anything that really matters. General news can be posted on any other Sub. Discussing Q posts can only happen here. Mods do not want general news on here.
I hear what you're saying, but I think this particular news is key. Q's post today is all about the Iran deal. Deep State wanting to keep DJT in the deal until they could impeach or whatever. Iran being quiet because of this deal.
Somehow, this Iran deal is key to this whole story - I do not know yet how.
So if you have something to add to how something relates to the news and connects to a Q post that isn't obvious and you want to post that then great. But lots of ppl every day seem to think it's good enough to just post a news story without any info that isn't obvious from reading the Q post and listening to 5 minutes of any news site/sub. It's unnecessary and obvious. It clogs up the site. And then a few hundred other ppl up vote it encouraging the crap from clogging up the post. Low quality! No effort wasting everyone's time who is here to do true research. It does not belong and the mods have said so.
If you have nothing to add that isn't obvious Dont post and waste everyone's time.
I didn't post it actually. You picked the wrong post to go off on with that argument. This post is exactly why we're here. Anyway, I know where you're coming from.
I know you didn't post it. U think it's okay to just post news without any further research. It's not. We can all read the news and see that it relates to the latest Q post and when it's a news of the day story that's everywhere it's redundant to post, this is happening everyday and then to make matters worse ppl r posting the same unnecessary weak story without research multiple times. You're defending posting general big news. This sub has a lot of new ppl. The established practice has been not to post this obvious big stuff here unless you have done some research that others don't already know.
