KerryLeary Yes war
Good for them Saudi Arabia!!!
The peace loving hippies are out I see .
Obama would have had the US packed off to war by now. Glad Trump is fighting the war hawks around him.
twat notAgain trump
We would be far better off if we asked to rejoin the treaty as Iran was in full compliance before Trump betrayed our allies by unilaterally withdrawing for no apparent reason other than it was done under the Obama administration.

Why these people are not deported to Iran yet?
I'm not a warmonger, but that country has been a thorn in our side since I was in the Army in 1979. I was in the 101st Airborne, and I thought we were going to war. Nope. How many Americans have they killed? We should at least knock off their leaders.
Historically, placing sanctions on nations ruled by a dictator or corrupt 'President' only hurts the citizens, as any additional cost or lack of goods just gets passed down while the ruling party continues living as they always did.
Good for him! No watt
Glad he showed some backbone, I was a little worried when he backed down from Putin and Russia.
This is what we have with an insane president who backed out of the Nuclear Agreement ( which was working ).
Sanctions on individuals are basically no sanctions. WEAK PRESIDENT
Thanks Obama
CIA admits role in 1953 Iranian coup
Trump still trying to prove he isn't a little man with an inferiority complex.
He's trying to destroy their economy. He started all this & now he's literally trying to push them to retaliate. So he doesn't get blamed for starting the war.
REMEMBER: He manufactured the crisis that he is pretending to fix! He is also doing this to defend the Saudi Crown Prince!
Hasn't Worked Yet Trump!! Trump is Weak!
Wait but sanctions did not work before? oh I see.
Meanwhile, they're lifting them on Russia for attacking us.
needs a wrecking ball

I thought it was a 'mistake' by some General?
