The Day the Iran Deal Died

Team Obama lives in a world of fiction.

As President Trump announced to the world that he would finally put a stake through the heart of the Iran deal -- the signal foreign policy "achievement" of the Obama administration -- Obama's former staffers lamented, rending their sackcloth and smearing their ashes. "I will never forget the dark cloud that hung over the White House in the years Iran was advancing nuclear program & Obama was briefed on all the risks of using military force," former United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power tweeted. "Trump has demolished America's credibility & paved the way for Iran to re-start its nuclear program. Trump has done the unthinkable: isolated the US & rallied the world around Iran."

Then there was amateur-fiction-writer-turned-professional-fiction-writer Ben Rhodes, a former Obama national security aide, who tweeted, "One tragicomic element of Trump's presidency is that the more he tries to tear down Obama's legacy, the bigger he makes Obama look." Meanwhile, former Secretary of State John Kerry, who had been traveling the world in an attempt to conduct his own personal foreign policy on behalf of the mullahs, stated, "Today's announcement weakens our security, breaks America's word, isolates us from our European allies, puts Israel at greater risk, empowers Iran's hardliners, and reduces our global leverage to address Tehran's misbehavior."

Iran Threatens Brutal Reprisals After U.S. Exits Nuclear Deal, Israel on HIGH ALERT, readies troops for imminent ATTACK

By Pamela Geller / THE GELLER REPORT

This is who President Obama and his quisling administration sidled up to and nuclearized. Enemy is the White House.

Israel is calling up reserves, opening bomb shelters, and activating anti-missile systems.

Breaking: Israel spots 'unusual activity' from Iran and readies troops for imminent ATTACK 

ISRAEL has reportedly put troops on high alert for an imminent attack after spotting “unusual movements” by Iranian forces in Syria.

Israel’s military has put soldiers on “high alert for an attack” and told them to be ready for “all scenarios” after identifying “irregular activity of Iranian forces in Syria”.Local authorities in the Israeli-held Golan Heights have been ordered to “unlock and ready [bomb] shelters” in anticipation of an imminent attack. 

“The IDF is ready and prepared for a variety of scenarios and warns that any action against Israel will be answered with a fierce retaliation,” The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

The warning about a potential strike came just moments before US President Donald Trump unveiled his decision to pull of the Iran nuclear deal.
