WORST DEAL OR WORST MISTAKE

- Lawz Bureau

The Trump Administration has just walked away from the United States’ commitment to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known in the American media as “the Iran Deal.” After years of condemning what he has referred to as “the worst deal ever,” Trump finally withdrew the U.S. from the agreement, despite pleas from its other signatories and advice from experts.

President Donald Trump’s decision to leave a multilateral nuclear agreement with Iran may be a violation of international law that alienates the U.S. from a global community seeking to combat the proliferation of nuclear weapons, according to some experts.

What is the Iran Deal stands for

The 2015 deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and struck between the U.S., Iran, China, Russia, Germany, France and the U.K. offered Iran billions of dollars of sanction relief in exchange for the halting of its nuclear production. After years of condemning what he has referred to as “the worst deal ever,” Trump finally withdrew the U.S. from the agreement, despite pleas from its other signatories and advice from experts.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), known commonly as the Iran nuclear deal or Iran deal, is an agreement on the nuclear program of Iran reached in Vienna on 14 July 2015 between Iran, the P5+1 (the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council— China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States—plus Germany), and the European Union.
