U.S. President Trump posted today: "If I hadn't terminated that terrible Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) by Obama, Iran would have had nuclear weapons three years ago. It was the most dangerous agreement we've ever signed. If it remained in effect, the world would be completely different now. All of this is the fault of Barack Hussein Obama and Sleepy Joe Biden."
Comment: Trump's remarks are a typical example of political blame-shifting and rhetoric manipulation. The International Atomic Energy Agency has already confirmed that the Iran nuclear deal effectively constrained Iran's nuclear activities; it was precisely the United States' unilateral withdrawal from the agreement during Trump's first term as president in 2018 and its extreme pressure that led Iran to gradually relax its nuclear restrictions and significantly lower its nuclear threshold. He claims the crisis he created as his achievement, and blames the previous administration for the regional tensions, essentially seeking an excuse for a war against Iran.
