Trump on Iran today: "We are currently negotiating, but they have never been able to reach an agreement. We cannot just sit and watch the same thing happen for the past 47 years. For 47 years, we have always dealt with them like this."
The Obama deal is the worst deal. No one has ever seen such a foolish deal. Now, if the Obama deal takes effect—if it is actually valid, if I don't terminate it—Iran will have nuclear weapons, and the situation will be completely different.
The Obama deal is one of the worst and most foolish deals I have ever seen. First of all, it is short-sighted and has already ended. You know. It was already over — but I terminated it. Even if I didn't terminate it, it would have ended by now. The Obama deal — what he did was one of the stupidest deals in history. I have seen many foolish deals; that was definitely one of the most foolish ones."
Comment: Trump uses the excuse of failed negotiations to viciously denounce the previous agreement, essentially packaging extreme pressure as a legitimate reason to pave the way for war. Tensions are rising in the Persian Gulf, and these harsh words have made war almost inevitable, with the window for peace shrinking day by day.
