Christiane Amanpour Rants Against Trump 'Regime' After Iran Deal Decision

CNN's Christiane Amanpour, who was just announced as Charlie Rose's replacement on PBS after he was fired over sexual assault allegations, was quick to denounce the Trump administration for its decision to withdraw from the Iranian nuclear deal Tuesday.

"This is the regime change crew," she said on CNN. "They're back in town. They're ascendant."

Some of the newest members of Trump's national security team include National Security Advisor John Bolton, who has often been criticized as too hawkish, and new Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Speaking from the White House, Trump announced the U.S. would be leaving the "horrible, one-sided deal."

"It didn't bring calm," he said. "It didn't bring peace, and it never will."

The "decaying" agreement leaves no path for preventing an Iranian nuclear bomb. It is, he said, "defective at its core."

Amanpour had other ideas.

CNN’s Amanpour: “I would describe pulling out of this deal [nuke deal] as possibly the greatest deliberate act of self-harm and self-sabotage in geo-strategic politics in the modern era.” @camanpour

She also saved some critiques for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a strong Trump ally. She questioned his judgement on Iran and its nuclear program and used his prediction on Saddam Hussein as precedent.

Didn’t quite turn out that way, did it? Will the U.S. be back on the warpath after exiting the Iran deal? https://twitter.com/mickbk/status/993895303085547522 …

The president, however, has made up his mind. Trump signed economic sanctions against Iran immediately following his remarks and sent the nation this bold warning:

"If the regime continues its nuclear aspirations, it will have bigger problems than it has ever had before."

Glad that President Trump forced Amanpour to take time off from molesting her underage poolboys to vent in public about this...

There was a path: sanctions. Those ended with the "deal", allowing Iran to build a nuclear bomb if they decided to cheat, which they did.

I remember what a sensitive, courageous, and compassionate reporter she appeared to be during the first Gulf War.

Then it became more obvious that she was a leftist war slut.

As I recall, she was born in Iran. Regardless, she’s a hack.

The headline doesn’t match the copy. Amanpour castigates Team Trump for being for regime change in Iran — she doesn’t mention a “Trump regime” (in this article, at least). She’s wrong to be against regime change in Iran. Why muddy the waters with a misleading headline?

I believe she was actually born in England but raised in Iran, her Mom was English and Dad was an Irani.

Ah, yes! Justice!

So satisfying to see the smug and the vicious exploding and imploding among the Media Complex!

Personal favorite is Miserable Joe and his chronic fiancée, squeeze
MIKA! Happy dance!

Who else?? A cavalcade of them.
