Because why have one nuclear proliferation threat when you can have two?

Why is he scrapping the deal?

Has Iran been complying 100%?

There haven't been any serious breaches as far as I can tell.

Yeah because Iran was our "FRIEND" under Obama....

Does this mean there have indeed been some breaches though?

Iran has a long history of human rights violations so it isn't farfetched to think they may have breached some of the conditions in the deal.

My thoughts exactly. Then stop thinking dumb ideas.

So you are ok with Iran even with its Gross Human Rights Violations? Like how Homosexuals are treated Benny?

Why doesn't just scrap said deal instead of trying to play mind games with congress?

If you want to do something as president, then do it and face the consequences, don't try shifting responsibility to someone else.

Because that ins't how Politics works.

Human Rights Violations are just one example. We could also discuss economic reasons (he did do a big popular campaign about putting America First) or practicality of the deal. Is the deal even finalised? These issues are complicated and Obama had issues with Iran too. There are also political points to discuss.

Jimmy Carter negotiated the Panama canal to the Panamese people and Reagan completely reversed it. History is simply repeating itself.

Trump could have decertified the deal, he chose not to, the only reason he's trying to intimidate congress into doing it is he doesn't want to have to deal with the political backlash that would potentially be involved,

Congress's failings aren't an excuse for Trump trying to throw away responsibility onto others.

Pretty much everyone in Congress has been there Far Longer then Trump has been in the WH. THEY Do hold far more of the responsibility.

So, I want 100% compliance. Either they do that or it's done.

That's not relevant here. Trump wants to enact a certain policy and has the power to do so and hence if he wants to enact it he should enact it and face the consequences.

I stopped paying attention to this quote when I saw the word "International".....that pretty much invalidated the whole sentence.

Even Trump's own people are saying Iran's been compliant.

Bingo. But the Trumpers will eat this up, they love having some new 'big bad' to focus on.

Hmmm?!

Isn't that the same place that Iran was rejecting an inspection from?

Does this mean Iran indeed allowed them to inspect their military sites? Well, I'm assuming so, since if not they surely wouldn't be telling people Iran is abiding by their obligations. If nukes are being produced, you don't even need an inspection to know. There's a million signs, least of which would be picking up the radioactivity signatures

No, not appearance.....maybe Iran's government is not suiting America's interest? Specifically, America first. That would be a completely sensible idea as to why the Iran deal was scrapped.
