President of the United States Donald Trump refused the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan for the Nuclear Program (VHF) to conclude a new "good" deal with Tehran. This was stated by the head of the White House himself, imposing sanctions against six Iranians living and leading business in the UAE, and three Iranian companies. The remaining sanctions, repealed in 2015. , will also be resumed soon. According to Trump, his actions save the world from a nuclear threat. "The agreement is so poorly worked out that even if Iran fully fulfills it, the regime remains on the verge of a nuclear breakthrough in a short period of time," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.. However, the rest of the world is sure of the opposite - this Trump shakes the boat. Now the situation is unpredictable, the former adviser on non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction under the administration of Barack Obama Robert Einhorn laments. "This is indeed the worst foreign policy decision of all that he (Trump) has taken," - said the analyst in an interview with "Kommersant".
In his opinion, this step will cause the most serious long-term consequences. First, Iran now has the right to abandon the control and verification mechanisms introduced under the SARP. Secondly, the US reputation has been damaged: "The decision to withdraw from the Iranian deal will negatively affect the transatlantic relations, including because the US authorities will threaten the European companies cooperating with Iran with secondary sanctions. And not only European, "emphasizes Einhorn. At the same time, the American analyst is convinced that Trump left the nuclear deal with Iran not because it is bad, but because he once criticized her. I literally blurted out without thinking, and now the whole world is clearing up. "Trump promised to break this deal during his election campaign. And what he can not refuse, is that he tries consistently to fulfill all his election promises. And no less consistent it is in reducing to zero the key achievements of its predecessor - Barack Obama. I believe that these two factors played a role in the case of the Iranian deal, "- said the ex-Counselor. I must say that in Europe they honestly tried to keep the Agreement. The head of the White House was urged not to touch the document and the French President Emmanuel Macron, and the Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel. In vain. Trump once again demonstrated that the opinion of Europeans does not mean anything to him. And, apparently, this seriously offended the EU leaders. "The United States no longer protects us. Europe needs to take fate into its own hands, this is our task for the future, "Merkel said after news from overseas about the breakdown of the Iranian agreement.
