A disastrous outcome if Trump pulls out of the Iran deal
Trump seems determined to go forward with a very hostile program toward Iran, and, although a baseless U.S. pullout from the nuclear deal seems unlikely, even the so-called ‘adults in the room’ are looking for a pretext.

What happens if Trump rips up the Iran deal? A view from Israel
