On one hand, this threat against Iran is like Trump's threats against North Korea, which led to him making concessions in exchange for nothing. On the other hand, I've argued for over a year that there are many signs the administration's lining up to fight Iran.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1021234525626609666 …

PS: American officials warning of Iranian cyber capabilities two days ago is another sign the admin's lining up for war with Iran. We should counter it, but Iran's far from the biggest cyber threat. China is. Still, Iran's the one they chose to highlight.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/iran-has-laid-groundwork-extensive-cyberattacks-u-s-say-officials-n893081 …

A smart strategy would have been not to make a deal at all, & honestly what was that great “deal”? What did US get out of it!
-
That's a separate question. Trump came into office with the deal in place. Couldn't travel back in time and undo Obama's decision. Withdrawing freed Iran from its obligations, and the world blames America. Put the US in a worse position, without the leverage to get a better deal.
-
Point taken, but the deal was only beneficial to Europe after we payed millions. There was no true reality that Iran was or ever would comply. EU knows this. I’d rather get out now & restratagize.
-
They were complying, Trump’s own State Depr, Sec of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff all said as much.
-
So did American, British, French, German, and Israeli intelligence.
-
Not to mention the IAEA, the international agency tasked with being the final word on this. It’s really only been Trump, even Iran hawks like Pompeo and Bolton have grudgingly admitted Iran’s complying, but then they’ve listed Iran’s *other* behavior as a reason to get out.

There will be no war. Trump has shown that he is not Obama and they will consider his intent very carefully. Expect Iran to act a bit more diplomatic. (also, expect the American media to come to Iran's defense in the hopes of creating war.)
