No matter your feelings on whether or not President Trump was right or wrong to cancel the Iran deal, the fact it was possible shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. The GOP, led by Senator Tom Cotton reminded Iran of just such a possibility in March of 2015 with an open letter. Here Peter Baker […]
Thanks to John Bolton, Iran War Now More Likely
At The American Conservative, John Allen Gay writes that there were other options available to President Trump within the confines of the JCPOA (a.k.a. the Iran nuclear deal).
