In response to the killing of Iranian military leader Qasem Soleimani, the Islamic Republic of Iran announced that it will no longer abide by any terms set forth in the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal. Trump has called the nuclear deal the "stupidest deal of all time" and already withdrew the U.S. from the agreement back in May 2018.
On Sunday, Iran stated that it will no longer honor limits placed on their nuclear enrichment levels and materials, but did say the country would continue working with the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency and would be willing to return to the nuclear deal if the United States lifted economic sanctions. The U.S. reimposed economic sanctions on Iran in Nov. 2018.
Iran announced its fifth and final step in reducing commitments to nuclear deal; Will no longer limit its enrichment material or levels. But will continue working with UN nuclear watchdog IAEA and is still willing to return to the nuclear deal if US removes sanctions. #Iran https://twitter.com/akramsharifi/status/1213881042224001027 …
President Trump called the nuclear deal with Iran "a horrible, one sided deal that should have never been reached," adding "it didn't bring peace and it never will." Trump also warned Iran the U.S. "will not be held hostage by nuclear blackmail" and vowed the U.S. will "no longer make empty threats."
In response to Trump's withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, several U.S. allies in the Middle East celebrated the news.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said President Trump demonstrated "courageous leadership" in his decision to withdraw from the agreement. "The deal didn't push war further away," the Israeli leader said. "It actually brought it closer. The deal didn't reduce Iran's aggression, it dramatically increased it. We see this across the entire Middle East."
This is a breaking news story. Check back for updates.
Show of hands, those who think Iran was abiding by the agreement so far...
Iran ACKNOWLEDGES that they aren’t abiding by the Obamadoctrine.
Crickets...
Are they going to give us back obamy’s money?
And let’s not forget that INSTEX was created to get around US sanctions.
Iran has never abided by the deal.
It wasn’t Barry’s.
Yeh right....
It was all a scheme to allow Obama to pay them billions and billions which both knew was a scam.

Slow learners.
As though those lying SOBs ever intended to keep their end of Obama’s unratified “agreement.”. But they were glad to get the billions in cash that he bribed them with to get them to sign his worthless papers.
They had no intention of ever slowing down their nuclear development. Obama was an idiot (or worse).
There’s a new sheriff in town and the evildoers (including the democrats) don’t like him or his methods very much. He would rather negotiate and help them come into the civilized world, but if they insist on playing rough, he can do that too.
So, nothing has changed. SNAFU.
We knew that all along anyway. They remind me of homos who come out of the closet because they didn't think anyone actually knew they were gay. They don't understand that their actions and behaviors had already outed them long ago.
Well said and dead on the mark with every point.
It’s great to have a man in the WH as we now have and will have for another five years.
MAGA!
Gosh, I’ll have to give that some thought...
Said no one ever!
NOthing has changed. The Iranians will just be more brazen about their nuclear work. Under the “agreement,” they had to move it to their defense bases, where the inspectors couldn’t inspect. Now, they will advertise their work.

Another good day. Iran rips the mask off the idea it ever fully complied with the nuclear deal, or that it made a strategic decision to forswear nuclear weapons. Now, it’s on to the real job: effectively preventing the ayatollahs from getting such a capability.
Bump!
