Iran nuclear deal Trump
The so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) saw Iran agree to limit the size of its stockpile of enriched uranium - which is used to make reactor fuel, but also nuclear weapons - for 15 years and the number of centrifuges installed to enrich uranium for 10 years.
Trump's decision fulfills a campaign promise to cancel the 2015 pact, which he has repeatedly described as "the worst deal ever".
Germany, France and the United Nations all urged the USA not to withdraw, with Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson making a last-ditch attempt to preserve the deal during a trip to Washington on Monday.
Trump's decision intensifies the strain on the trans-Atlantic alliance since he took office 16 months ago.
On Facebook, Obama called Trump's decision "so misguided".
"In a democracy, there will always be changes in policies and priorities from one administration to the next, but the consistent flouting of agreements that our country is a party to risks eroding America's credibility, and puts us at odds with the world's major powers".
"Since taking office, President Trump has produced no strategy to counter Iran's malevolent activities across the Middle East, all of which would be more unsafe if backed by a nuclear weapon". "I have ordered the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran to be ready for action if needed, so that, if necessary, we can resume our enrichment on an industrial level without any limitations", said Rouhani.
Trump and the United States also came under fire from Eshaq Jahangiri, Iran's first vice-president and a popular reformist politician, who has been suggested as a possible presidential contender in Iran's 2021 election. In fact, at this very moment, Secretary Pompeo is on his way to North Korea in preparation for my upcoming meeting with Kim Jong-Un. But he insisted he hadn't made a final decision and kept his precise plans guarded.
CONTROLS ON IRAN.While the 2015 agreement was reached between Iran, the United States and five other world powers Britain, France, Russia, Germany and China the United States was seen as the linchpin guaranteeing the deal. "Israel fully supports President Trump´s bold decision today to reject the disastrous nuclear deal", Netanyahu said in a televised address, referring to the multinational accord with his country´s main enemy. He also claimed the deal gave Iran over $100 billion to help fund terrorism, while all it did was return Iran's frozen assets. Outcome will determine our response.

KKR vs MI: Who will win today's IPL 2018 game?
Nitish Rana has been in fine touch for the purple brigade from the outset while Andre Russell has played a few devastating knocks. On the other side, KKR is relying on their spin attack consists of Sunil Narine , Piyush Chawla, and Kuldeep Yadav.
National security adviser John Bolton, an Iran hawk who nonetheless told people he was committed to providing all options to Trump, offered a variety of paths, including reimposing all sanctions, applying new sanctions, or allowing for more time to negotiate with the Europeans.
At its heart, the 2015 deal imposes restrictions on Iran's nuclear program that make it impossible for Iran to produce a bomb, in return for the lifting of most of the US and global sanctions against it.
In addition, Saudi Arabia, regional rival of Tehran and longtime USA ally, said it "supports and welcomes" Trump's decision.
Iran's Fars News Agency tweeted video footage of the protest, noting that a number of parliamentarians were involved.
But Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the U.S. president's decision as "a historic move". The Atlantic reports Netanyahu said recently that Israeli spies found Iran has carefully saved all of the data from its nuclear research, and archived it in such a way that the country could restart its nuclear work any time it wanted.
Trump, meanwhile, spoke early in the day with Chinese President Xi Jinping and phoned French President Emmanuel Macron mid-morning.
In a statement on its website, it said the sanctions would target industries mentioned in the deal, including Iran's oil sector, aircraft exports, precious metals trade, and Iranian government attempts to buy USA dollar banknotes.
Setting fire to a paper US flag and chanting "Death to America", the lawmakers symbolized the anger felt by many Iranians as Trump reneged on the Obama-era deal, signed in 2015 after two years of intense negotiations.
Kono said Japan would continue close talks with related nations towards maintaining a deal, according to a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. And a little shade.
