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 …
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.
