President Donald Trump announced Tuesday he is quitting the Iran nuclear deal, pitting him against the United States’ closest allies and leaving the future of Tehran’s nuclear ambitions in question.
“I am announcing today that the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal,” Trump said from the White House.
“It is clear to me that we cannot prevent an Iranian nuclear bomb under the decaying and cotton structure of the current agreement,” he said. “The Iran deal is defective at its core. If we do nothing we know exactly what will happen.”
In announcing his decision, Trump will initiate new sanctions to go forward, crippling the touchstone agreement negotiated by his predecessor, according to a US official and a person familiar with the plan.
“The so-called Iran deal was supposed to protect the United States and our allies from the lunacy of an Iranian nuclear bomb, a weapon that will only endanger the survival of the Iranian regime,” the President said. “In fact, the deal allowed Iran to continue enriching uranium and over time reach the brink of a nuclear breakout.”
The President added: “Today, we have definitive proof that this Iranian promise was a lie.”

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to Trump in English on live television:
“Israel fully supports President Trump’s bold decision today to reject the disastrous nuclear deal with the terrorist regime in Tehran.”
Israel opposed the deal “from the start” because “it paves Iran’s path to an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs.”
Removal of sanctions “has already produced disastrous results.”
“The deal didn’t push war further away, it actually brought it closer. The deal didn’t reduce Iran’s aggression, it dramatically increased it,” Netanyahu says.

So in other words, for all your bluster, you’ve got nothing. If “the list is long,” it shouldn’t be hard for you to name some of them and provide evidence that they are anti-Semites. But you can’t. So the rest of your “drawing a parallel, not to be taken literally” amounts to just windy talk as well.
we live in the present and being optimistic ,we look in the future the same
did you ever learnt about “Tracht good vet zain GOOD”
thinking POSITIVELY draws down the positive
OBAMA BELONGS TO THE GARBAGE OF HISTORY LIKE HIS MATES FARRAKAN AND JESSE JACKSON ET AL
HE THOUGHT HE COULD SELL ISRAEL DOWN THE RIVER! אנשי דמים …
But he chose to be one and the others before him didn’t!
We here are glad this deal is off, & know that ultimately, this will help us. But please remember: we are on the front line & we are gearing up for war. Iran & Syria are moving their troops around in the North & Hezbollah are just waiting to strike. And look what’s happening in Gaza.
Please daven for us all.
Thanks for the feedback #13 and 14. I can’t say I totally understand the logic of your posts (#14 your ideas are way too convoluted to follow). My point was drawing a parallel, not to be taken literally. Too many Yidden are putting all their “faith” in Trump. he is not Moshiach, just a shaliach. Don’t confuse the two. Similarly, his antisemitic friends (#13 the list is long – and you know it) are always riding in the background. Be careful here folks, Trump is a wild, loose canon. It won’t be long before he does something to Israel. And… Read more »
Specifically at a time, when we can so easily make the mistake of putting our trust in others and to G-d forbid miss another miraculous, most auspicious moment in history to finally bring Moshiach, we must remember the words of Dovid HaMelech, that we say every morning in Shachris – אל תבטחו בנדיבים… i.e. even the most charitable, generous, noble person, and even if he happens to be the President of the United States himself… We should not need to be reminded… that just as in the times of Achashveirosh, – if not for Hashem orchestrating the greatest transformation and… Read more »
In view of what his predecessor – anti-American and anti-Semite that he was – did, then a strategy of undoing all of his work is a perfectly valid one. As for the rest – if you can find “a leader who is moral, truthful and kind” and who will run the country well, by all means vote for him or her. But don’t kid yourself that Obama, Hillary, or any any of the recent holders or aspirants to the presidency were anything of the sort; don’t kid yourself that any of the ones of 2020 will be either; and in… Read more »
Bold, brilliant, and the best!!!
No question that these steps are the unfolding of Moshiach’s coming!
Do you know what all the anti-semites say when people accuse them as being such???
“My best-friend is Jewish and even my lawyer is Jewish”
By you saying that Trump isn’t Moshiach, while no one else said that keeps my thinking-this same person thinks that Donald Trump is Moshiach!!!!!
So, before you start telling someone off, look at yourself.
And by the way, Trump is the best president.
There will be no other president like him.
No one except you said anything about Trump being Moshiach, so you’re arguing against a straw man of your own creation.
As for your last sentence: show your work. Who are these anti-Semites that you claim the cabinet is “full of”? Name names and show your evidence.
Don’t be fooled everyone. Sure Trump has done great things (maybe) for EY. But he is not Moshiach and his cabinet is full of antisemites (big time).
I always liked that guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Donald J. Trump, you are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheered for him since he was running for republican candidate
Our president is a horrible person and a terrible leader. He had no strategy other than to undo all of his predecessor’s work. We deserve a better, more upstanding leader next election. Please vote, especially if you normally don’t, for a leader who is moral, truthful and kind. I appreciate his kindness to Israel and Rubashkin but our children see the leader we elected act and talk in despicable ways and we have to do better next time.
What was once an essential hatred towards Yaakov, today instead Esav/Edom stands by and defends truth and the Jewish people. Trump is only but a tool in the Hands of the Eibershter! May Trump continue to do his work leading us to Moshiach Tzidkeinu!
and keep davening for the president.
הנה לא ינום ולא ישן שומר ישראל! אראנו נפלות The miracles are unfolding with enormous speed! Today וכל אויבי עמך מהרה יכרתו next week ולירושלים ערך ברחמים תשוב its seems like any moment את צמח דוד עבדך מהרה תצמיח Even this announcement was originally supposed to be on May 18th but like it says in Chumash אחד עשר יום מחורב that the Aibishter is speeding things up for us! This is really no joke whats happening is נורא נוראות The vort is that its not enough that we come back to Yerushalaim but that its recognized by the entire world… Read more »
President Trump may be a bit weird – but he is by far the best President and gets things done.
Europe is busy appeasing Iran just as the appeased Hitler God bless Trump for not being intimidated by the Iranian violent blackmail of blowing up us ships and causing havoc in the world God forbid not to mention nuclear blackmail God bless Trump
BH
It looks like is he wearing a Yechi flag on his suit
I don’t care what anybody says, he’s been the BEST president so far for the last 20 years!!!
Not only for Jews, but for the world at large. Let’s make sure we reelect him.
Say what you want about the man and his personality, this is what he has done so far for the Jewish people and Israel:
1. Rubashkin
2. Recognition of Yerushalayim
3. Moving Embassy to Yerushalayim
4. Leaving Iran deal
