Oil prices push higher after U.S. walks away from Iran nuclear deal

Global Markets Oil soars after Trump dumps Iran nuclear deal stocks gain

Trump announced America's departure from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) at a press conference Tuesday afternoon, during which he called the seven-nation agreement "a great embarrassment to me as a citizen and to all citizens of the United States", while insinuating that Iran has been enriching more uranium than the global pact allowed, despite American intelligence reporting that the Middle Eastern nation had been obeying the terms of the deal.

Following Trump's statement, a senior U.S. administration official said that the United States was ready to involve all countries in negotiations over its withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Yoel Guzansky, a senior researcher at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies, believes the current deal has "many, many problems", but says there are consequences to walking away from it, including the possibility of escalating violence and instability in the region. But India has other concerns, and these relate to Iran.

The 2015 agreement between major powers and Iran set limits on its nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions.

If Iran's leaders were reckless enough to try to amass bomb-grade material, it would very likely be detected within days or weeks.

France said the Iranian nuclear accord was "not dead" despite the USA withdrawal. Under the JCPOA, IAEA access can not be stalled more than 24 days without serious consequences. The veneer of Tehran's compliance contradicted its bellicose policies.

On May 9, against the advice of European allies, Trump announced that the U.S. intends to withdraw from the Obama-era agreement with Iran.

However, he signed a different nuclear deal with the regime of Hassan Rouhani in Tehran in 2015, as a result of which sanctions on Iran were lifted.

Mr Trump said in his announcement that the United States consulted with our friends from across the Middle East.

"Even the biggest critics admit the deal buys us 10 to 15 years", Kahl said.

Israel had already acknowledged launching more than 100 airstrikes in Syria since that country's civil war broke out in 2011. In a separate development, Yemen's Houthi rebel group fired at least one missile at Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.

Saudi Arabia is monitoring the impact of the USA withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal on oil supplies and is ready to offset any shortage but it will not act alone to fill the gap, an OPEC source familiar with the kingdom's oil thinking said on Wednesday. Iran agreed to ship out 97 percent of its enriched uranium, mothball 70 percent of its uranium-enriching centrifuges, and disable a heavy water reactor that could produce plutonium.

The move comes after President Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal.

Iran could also possibly reopen the Fordow underground enrichment complex, which was shuttered under the JCPOA, and put back online an additional 1,000 IR-1 machines that were idled under the JCPOA. "In just a short period of time, the world's leading state sponsor of terror will be on the cusp of acquiring the world's most unsafe weapons". United Nations inspectors have repeatedly confirmed that Iran is abiding by the accord's terms.

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis held out hope that renewed efforts to curtail Iran's nuclear program in consultation with European nations could still work, a day after President Trump announced his withdrawal from the Iran nuclear pact, upsetting some of the Pentagon's most important allies overseas.

US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Iran would either negotiate or "something will happen".

"First, we should see details of the new sanctions regime, because they affect not only the USA but also Turkey, Turkish companies, European firms", said Kalin.

Prince Mohammed said in a recent CBS interview that if Iran develops a nuclear bomb, the kingdom would "without a doubt" follow suit as soon as possible.

Amid continued investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election, Putin's foreign policy team used decidedly harsher language to express their disagreement with Trump's decision.

Now, it will be up to Europe's leaders, along with other responsible actors, to ensure it remains in Iran's interest not to break out of the JCPOA's rigorous constraints.

Experts from the Washington-based Arms Control Association also denounced the decision.
