State: Iran is wrong, Trump can dump nuke deal

The State Department on Tuesday acknowledged President-elect Donald Trump can exit President Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran.

“It’s not a formal treaty, and, of course, no one else can prevent any party to this agreement from walking away,” spokesman Mark Toner told reporters Tuesday, according to The Washington Examiner. "The counterargument is, why would anyone walk away? Because it’s effective.”

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani earlier Tuesday slammed Trump for threatening to abolish the landmark 2015 deal.

“[Trump] wants to do many things, but none of his actions would affect us,” he said during a speech at the University of Tehran, according to Reuters.

“Do you think that the United States can rip up the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal]? Do you think we and our nation will let him do that?”

Rouhani additionally hammered Congress for passing legislation that extended the Iran Sanctions Act for 10 years, making it easier for sanctions on Iran to be re-implemented. . .

Even if it does, by some fickle twist of fate, end up deemed binding, Trump can still deal Iran a lot of grief, by reinstating sanctions citing their repeated violation of the deal.

He can probably just tear it up, for the same reason, Iran has ignored the terms of the deal at least 3 or 4 times I’ve heard about in news reports so far. This is nothing new, they’ve never kept any agreement they have ever made. Except their vow to their own people to destroy western civilization...or try...

So all Trump has to do is find solid evidence they have violated the deal, like the recent missile tests, and slap them with sanctions and maybe even an outright embargo. Bring their economy to its knees again and they will beg for another negotiation. But this time they’ll be dealing with a real negotiator...

Then after he’s broke, throw him in Guantanamo.

Cha-ching!

Alahwahoo Whackbar....we are winning again.

[Crucial]

150 billion dollars later and the first Iranian nuclear ICBM later, it’s OK to walk away from the deal. The Left and Iran got what it wanted. America is threatened even more and the human race is that much closer to either annihilation or slavery.

Trump wins... again... yawn.

[Palio di Siena]

That’s probably the $125 billion that they say is missing due to being “misplaced” by the pentagon.

[vannrox]

Obama needs to pay back all the billions of dollars he gave away out of his own pocket.

< Obama needs to pay back all the billions of dollars he gave away out of his own pocket.

He probably still has a lot of it in his own "pockets" scattered around the world...

Iran wouldn’t sign anything so they wouldn’t have to abide by anything.

[Raycpa]

The louder they cry the more it shows how good a deal they received.

[AFPhys]

Trump can immediately nullify Obama's action on that Iran "deal" by submitting it to the Senate as a treaty for ratification, while recommending it be rejected. When they refuse the necessary 2/3's vote, "POOF" , it is gone, over and done with. No one at home or abroad will then be able to maintain it has any force at all.

[hardspunned]

Wait, we can't get out without the Chicom’s approval. That's the deal Barry signed, or at least that's what the Chinese say.

Barry will be very busy when he leaves office flying around the world bowing and apologizing as Trump MAGA.

[SMM48]

Barry will be very busy when he leaves office flying around the world bowing and apologizing as Trump MAGA.

I predict Barry will stay around DC, dogging Trump on every thing he does. You can bet he will be using his best ghetto dialect as well.

[Augie]

rouhani will figure out soon enough that, unlike owebama, Trump is not his little b*tch.
