President Trump made a bold move when he pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal that was championed by Obama. The deal has been shown to be an utter failure.
Liberals freaked out when it happened. Arguing that we should continue to get taken advantage of in the name of safety and that the threat from Iran would grow.
Well apparently, it looks like Iran is collapsing under the pressure of new sanctions.
According to The Daily Wire:
The Trump Administration knows exactly how to handle the despotic government of Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism: On Sunday Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif admitted to the Iran Chamber of Congress that the collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal would have “very dangerous consequences” for the country.
With protests mounting in the country against the government in full swing, what Zarif is likely referring to is the fact that any more pressure on Iran’s economic system and the government will fall. As Reuters reported, “The Iranian rial plunged to a record low against the U.S. dollar on the unofficial market on Sunday, continuing its slide amid fears of returning U.S. sanctions after President Donald Trump in May withdrew from a deal on Tehran’s nuclear program. The dollar was being offered for as much as 87,000 rials, compared to around 75,500 on Thursday, the last trading day before Iran’s weekend, according to foreign exchange website Bonbast.com, which tracks the unofficial market.”
The plunging rial is catalyzing even more protests:
Today following to the shocking #Iran‘s currency devaluation, shopkeepers in the Alaeddin & Chaharsu Bazaars of #Tehran started protest. This might trigger a series of new strikes and protests against #Iran‘s Islamic Regime across #Iran which will lead to #IranRegimeChange. pic.twitter.com/038BdTbLVn

As Radio Free Europe reported, Zarif told the Iran Chamber of Commerce, “We can talk the deal up, or talk it down. But we should know that a failure of the deal will have very dangerous consequences for us. This is certainly not the [Iranian political] system’s choice.” Radio Free Europe noted Zarif said the failure of the deal could leave Iran politically isolated.
Trump made a power move on the Iran deal, and the world howled. But in the end, it is starting to look like the correct move. It remains to be seen whether or not a new deal will be struck between Iran and the US moving forward.
