The president of Iran spoke out against Donald Trump today, showing his disappointment for Trump's plans to pull of of the Iran deal that has been in the works for years. The plan entails that Iran does not advance nuclear capabilities, in exchange for a lift on other sanctions being placed on the country. Trump has previously said that Iran is a dictatorship that has had an awful history with bloodshed.
While Iran is upset with the United States, the Iranian president has said that he would continue to cooperate with the IAEA and the other countries that are part of the deal, but if other countries start to follow the suit of the United States, Iran said they would not hesitate to respond accordingly.
The negotiations and deals have global politics tense. Personally, I think that it is ridiculous for the United States to pull out of a deal like this, and think everyone involved thinks so as well. As the global hegemon, we should not be making rash and emotional decisions, especially in the deals that have taken years to procure and to finalize. The Iranian government has been cooperating and has given no indication to Trump that they would not follow through on their end of the deal. This is yet another example of the United States wanting to interfere in the sovereignty of another state, and hurting them because we do not like how they operate their country. I find it childish and not good politics, but I guess we will have to see how the rest of this plays out.
