Trump announced withdrawing U.S. from the Iran nuclear accord which went into effect in 2015.

President Trump announced on Tuesday his decision to “tear up” the nuclear deal with Iran.  Hassan Rouhani, Iranian president, said that Iran would negotiate with the other world powers to keep the pact in place, but I see the accord unraveling very quickly.  Rouhani said to a Tehran crowd, “the U.S. will quickly see that this decision will be a regret of historic proportions”.  Wednesday morning Iranian lawmakers burned two facsimiles of American flags on the floor of the Parliament (a first) in Tehran, chanting “Death to America!”  Emmanuel Macron of France said that “its allies need to be careful about how they handle Iran because terrorist groups may prosper from the conflict between Shiites and Sunnis”.  Benjamin Netanyahu is agitating for the mega-hawks in the White House to cripple Iran and stop its expansion; meanwhile ‘Bibi’ has opened bomb shelters in Israel.  Remember: oil, gas and land is the currency for all oligarchs.
