When President Donald Trump announced in May that he would abandon the Obama-era nuclear pact with Iran and impose new sanctions on the terror-supporting state, the reaction from the Liberal Left was as one might expect-horror.
When the Obama administration marketed the JCPOA Iran nuclear deal to senators and representatives in 2015, Mr. Obama declared that the agreement was limited in scope; that only nuclear sanctions would be affected.
President Obama assured the American people that the US would remain a wary adversary of Iran's regional avarice by reestablishing sanctions and other measures.
When the plan was approved by former president Obama, his jubilant remarks were broadcast in Iran.
Iran, seemingly eager to rattle the saber of war, wishes to gain superiority in the Persian Gulf and continue its support of the terrorist groups that act as its proxies; Russia, the once proud bear, desires to regain a dominant role on the world stage; and China, the Johnny-come-lately to the international political scene, wants to wrest the "Superpower" title from the United States and desperately needs to keep the oil flowing to it from Iran.
India had expressed its intention to halt buys from Iran, and has taken one step further-that of blocking payments to Iran for purchases of crude oil.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has tightened the screws on Iran with his statement: "Purchases of Iranian crude will go to zero from every country or sanctions will be imposed."
