Many of you must be aware of the fact that the US withdrew from the Iran Nuclear deal last May, but are you aware of the possible grave consequences this would bring to threatening world peace? American withdrawal from the Nuclear deal is the most pernicious foreign policy decision yet and a huge blow for trans-atlantic ties. Today, I am going to discuss whether this was for the good of the world or was this just a bad decision.
