TRUMP HAS MADE WAR WITH IRAN AND NORTH KOREA MORE LIKELY THAN EVER

By

The U.S. and Iran have both taken defensive measures to prepare for a potential conflict following President Donald Trump's controversial decision Friday to not certify a landmark nuclear treaty between both countries and four other leading powers. Despite recommendations from his security and defense advisors, Trump decertified the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a 2015 deal negotiated by the U.S., Iran, China France, Germany, Russia and the U.K., and designated Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization. Trump's remarks, in which he accused Iran of being a "fanatical regime" that sponsors terrorism abroad, had immediate repercussions in the region, with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani quickly condemning the speech during a televised address. "Mr. Trump's remarks on Iran…contained nothing but expletives and a pile of delusional allegations against the Iranian nation," Rouhani said, according to Press ...
