President Trump pulled out of the Iran Nuclear Deal on Tuesday, stating that the deal was "defective at its core". However, it provides a golden opportunity for the Trump administration to bolster nuclear negotiations with another Middle Eastern State, Saudi Arabia.
Jefferies said that OPEC has the capacity "to replace the Iranian losses" but added: "Even if physical supply is held constant. the market will still be faced with a precariously low level of spare capacity". This time, America's allies in Europe want to keep the nuclear accord alive and are resisting joining any US embargo.
In remarks an hour before Trump's declaration, senior Kuwaiti diplomat Khaled al-Jarallah said his country stood by the JCPOA as the best option for "stability" in the region.
Also celebrating is Israel, another of Iran's enemies. Also, if Iran follows with an all-out revival of its nuclear program, Saudi Arabia has threatened to launch a nuclear weapons program of its own in response. Last week, Netanyahu showed off what he said were tens of thousands of secret documents about the Iranian nuclear program stolen by the Mossad.
"They played it very conservatively", Aboulafia said of Boeing. While Trump's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal might be meant to show Kim Jong Un that the U.S. president follows through with his threats, it may also reinforce fears that Washington's negotiations can not be taken seriously - and that Pyongyang still needs its nuclear deterrent to ensure its survival.
The other looming debacle is whether a U.S. pullout from the Iran deal could trigger a nuclear arms race. Something in the vicinity of 90-plus (percent).
One Saudi tweeted, "No deal could ever be struck with the devil, and Saudi Arabia fully supports President Trump's decision ..."
The kingdom has since wholeheartedly embraced Trump and his tough talk.
In the past, Trump has sometimes said that the Europeans cared only about making money in Iran.

It said , Inflation in fruits was in double digits at 19.47 per cent in April, up from 9.26 per cent in the previous month. The more widely-tracked Consumer price index-based inflation rate for April will be released later in the day.
"The deal has been structured in a way that it is shielded from any potential liability or prosecution under the American sanctions", said an Omani analyst, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the subject. However, European leaders did not really do much to salvage the deal beyond trying to coax Trump into remaining in it, or - worse yet from an Iranian point of view - appeasing Washington at Tehran's expense.
He added that Saudi Arabia's "message to the Iran leadership is the policies of the past have got to come to end".
With President Donald Trump junking the landmark nuclear deal with Iran, the U.S. will now reimpose the stringent sanctions it placed on Tehran before the 2015 agreement and is considering new penalties, the United States media reported today.
The energy sector in equity markets rallied, helping lift European stocks, a gauge of world equity performance and the broad US market.
Among the options they outlined: recalling European ambassadors from Washington, and even expelling USA ambassadors, depending on Trump's response and retaliating against the United States commercially.
National Security Adviser John Bolton speaks on a morning television show from the grounds of the White House, on May 9, 2018 in Washington, DC.
Rex Tillerson, the previous secretary of state, had seen value in staying in the deal, as did Defense Secretary James Mattis. The Saudis will likely intensify even more their illegal war on Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis.
"You mean you had three months, and you didn't do anything?" he told them, the source said.
Yet today, the Europeans face an uncomfortable truth as they try to salvage the nuclear deal and also protect their businesses; Iran is the EU's 33rd biggest trading power, while the United States ranks number one.
