This is a risky new reality, because the deal was working. Instead, sanctions were imposed and the P5-plus-one - the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany - brokered a deal. But Obama and his secretary of state John Kerry believed the Iran deal was the best way forward for the United States and for the world - imperfect, but a path forward to denuclearize Iran for a decade.
New U.S. sanctions will include measures aimed at its oil and shipping sectors, with a six-month "wind down" period "to allow companies to end contracts, terminate business, (and) get their money out", according to the U.S. State Department.
After Iran, what could North Korea ever do to persuade the USA that it has actually denuclearised, short of declaring itself a semi-colonial outpost of the American empire? The U.S. plays a central role in the global financial system, so our sanctions carry a lot of weight around the world.
Oil prices rose on Thursday, heading for its largest weekly increase in a month, as the market prepared for potential disruption to crude flows from major exporter Iran in the face of USA sanctions.
On top of this, Iran agreed to give access to inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN's nuclear watchdog agency, to its nuclear facilities, among other facilities.
The Iranian government is also nervously following other developments in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia's evolution from a relatively passive regional player into an active one that has been challenging Iranian activities in Syria, Lebanon and elsewhere.
If this effort fails, Iran will inevitably stop abiding by restrictions on their nuclear program and allowing the invasive worldwide inspections demanded by the deal.
Germany will remain committed to nuclear deal
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi in a statement strongly condemned the attacks by Israel on Syria and termed it's a blatant violation of the country's sovereignty.

Hawaii volcano has oozed hot lava for decades — Science Says
Vog , or volcanic fog, is a "hazy mixture" of sulfur dioxide and other tiny particles and compounds, and it's not good to breathe. He said none of Oregon's volcanoes is showing signs of waking up, and any potential eruption could be centuries away.
"The pull out of the Iranian deal and the pending election in Venezuela have clearly added to the uncertainties and premium".
While American allies have erupted with concern over the potential fallout over abandoning the old deal, Team Trump has offered precious few details into how a new one might be reached.
Iranian lawmakers lit a paper of an American flag on fire while chanting "Death to America" after the US pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal. His fantasy is a reminder that the President is such a great deal maker that he managed to lose money - a lot of money - running casinos.
After his long-running criticisms since the time he stepped into White House, U.S. President Donald Trump finally announced on Tuesday the U.S.'s exit from the agreement with Iran, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). This wasn't free for them, but they accepted economic sacrifices from reduced oil purchases from Iran to achieve this agreement. You know, Russian Federation is part of this agreement, Russian Federation and China and Europe and the United States. Key U.S. allies in Europe and Asia are likely to defy or, at most, pay lip service to Trump's sanctions threats.
Trump's decision to withdraw from the accord and reimpose sanctions on the Islamic republic overturns years of diplomacy, could worsen instability in the Middle East and threatens business in Iran worth billions of dollars. He predicted Iran would choose to negotiate eventually, or face consequences.
Trump continued to assail the nuclear pact Tehran reached with the USA under his predecessor, Barack Obama, calling it a "terrible, bad deal that should never have been done".
Last month, Trump said he wants American troops to "get out" of Syria, but his top military officials quickly said there was no change to the USA mission to beat the Islamic State group, and that U.S. forces would remain for now.
