It was well telegraphed in advance but that didn't make the punch of the US withdrawal from the Iran deal any less powerful.
President Donald Trump has just sent an earthquake through the Middle East and risked alienating key European allies.
Anyone who thinks there was a glimmer of optimism, and the door is left open for a new deal, wasn't really listening to what the President had just said.
Virtually every aspect of the Iranian regime's foreign agenda was attacked.
This was not just about the deal. This was about Iran's aggressive behaviour across the region.
The problem with brokering a new deal that would be acceptable to the US is that it would have to encompass so many things - a rowing back of Iranian influence in Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon and also a halt to its ballistic missile programme.

Something the media has turned a blind eye to.
No more progressive sourced deals that are good for the other guy.
“And the other factor is that the American withdrawal strengthens the hand of the hardliners...”
“but the hardliners will use this to crack down on any dissent and will muscle it out.”
LOL. Who does this joker think is running the country??
Everyone seems to have forgotten that Iran is the #1 sponsor of international terrorism. They’re killing people across the middle east, Africa, Central and South America. Obama seemed to want to reward them for it.
Pat Buchanan and his amen corner are very sad.
Saudi Arabia
North Korea
Iran
Trump is changing the world. The swamp which is being drained is global.
Which makes the media consternation a bit unbelievable and laughable.
And that BHO's agreement with them (specifically sending them cash) is TREASON. Our feckless Congress, once again, fails to do its duty.
I thought it sounded more like a declaration of war.
President Trump just saved the lives of millions of people throughout that region.
A strong Iran was only flexing it’s muscle and providing military, military, military. They were ganging up with allies throughout the area to spread Islam and the Ayatollah’s message and vision.
By dropping out, he shot out their knee caps. Now they have to worry about eating and turning on lights again. They had their chance, and as usual they blew it.
I repeat: President Donald J Trump saved millions of lives without firing a round. This man is brave, brilliant and in a short span of time truly learned how the world operates and our place in that clockwork.
BBC is on Iran’s side ,LOL
Turns out that the Europeans are not allies.
Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain Qatar, UAE and Oman are our Iranian threatened allies. The Europeans are an existential threat to the Gulf and the mid east.
Added to the allies list are Egypt and Jordan and the emerging Sunni/Kurdish nation that once was Iraq and Syria
Europe was. The Arabs are
There is not going to be any new deal in a diplomatic sense.
If the deal had been even a little fair maybe Trump could have found a way to keep it. But as it was, there was just no way. And that's the fault of Iran for going out of their way to make a laughingstock out of Obama and Kerry and leaving behind a deal that a man like Trump could never live with.
And yet the article appears to lay the blame at Trump's feet...
Agreed.
Hussein Obama sold the Iran “deal” as one that would recapitalize the regime, remove sanctions, thus allowing them to rejoin the civilized world.
That was crap.
Since 2015 Iran used the new found riches to rebuild its military, refuel Hamas, reach into Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria and other mideast nations and generally expand islamic terrorism throughout the mideast.
I spit on Hussein/Kerry.
Iran’s reaction to the cancellation of the deal merely proves Trump was right to cancel it. No civilized government would, upon receiving such news, immediately burn the US flag in their legislative chamber (and broadcast it on TV) while chanting “death to America”. Not even the Chinese, who we recently nearly went to economic war with, reacted so strongly.
Odd isn't it? I wonder what Kerry and Obama got...
HOORAY President Donald J. Trump.
