US President Donald Trump is gearing to raise his tone and take major action against Iran, starting with decertifying the nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). While such concerns are obviously legitimate, an interesting slate of figures, including even former US Secretary of State John Kerry, are making their voice heard in defense of what is considered the Obama administration’s foreign policy legacy.
Trump himself, and his senior foreign policy advisers, are hinting the likely October 12thannouncement of Iran not being fully in compliance with the JCPOA. That is what has prompted lineup of JCPOA advocates to take to the media and urge American lawmakers to stand against such a decision, and refuse to impose sanctions on the Iranian regime.
Obama Left Iranian People In Worse Situation
Their line of argument has failed to catch much attention, however. It is quite unfortunate how they so simply neglect the very fact that Obama’s eight years of unprecedented engagement and rapprochement with Iran has actually left the Iranian people and the entire Middle East in far worse circumstances.
Inside Iran, more than 3,100 people have been executed during the tenure of the so-called “reformist” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani have been sent to the gallows. This includes 81 women and 24 individuals arrested under the age of 18 at the time of their alleged crime.
