TEHRAN, Iran - President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal has left a bitter taste in the mouths of many people here in the Islamic republic.
Many Iranians hoped the Obama-era pact would lead to prosperity and closer ties with the West.
But with the agreement now on the rocks, some Iranians feel double-crossed by America and say they are pessimistic about their country’s future.
Many Iranians feel they haven't seen the economic benefits of the nuclear deal. While it allowed Tehran to sell its crude oil and natural gas on the international market, Iran's economy remains weak with high unemployment and inflation.
Azita Moghadam, a 25-year-old student, described Trump as a "racist and dishonest person who doesn’t care about the people of Iran.”
She added: "Iran’s economy will take a hit by Trump’s decision. A poor sense of security and poor economy are my biggest fear for the future."
And while chants of "Death to America" are commonplace in Iran, most Iranians frequently interact with the West, even if only through online videos and illegally obtained movies.
Many also have family members abroad, with Los Angeles a popular destination for Iranian ex-pats.

Good.
Your government, your choice.
Too bad Neville Chamberlain did put this kind of fear in Germans.
Iran can, if it chooses to be, a very successful country that needn’t fear us.
But they need to clearly understand that the mullahs are holding their nation back, not us. if the Iranian “people” as NBC describes them, really believe that security and prosperity would arise from this treaty, they are really really really in the dark.
Azita Moghadam, a 25-year-old student that we just happened to find, and accurately represents everyone in Iran because she agrees with our agenda, said everything is terrible now because Trump is president and Obama is gone. Literally, those were almost her exact words.
Per this guy I follow on twitter, protests over there, over the state of the economy, so, yeah, the MSM here in some cases, will present stuff like this article in the OP.

You’re right.....Trump cares about the people of the United States.
You rose up and threw out the Shah. It’s time you did this to the radical Islamic zealots you have running your country.
NBC shilling for the antisemitic and ‘destroy America’ Mullah regime. Figures.
OMG! NBS has no shame!
NBC propaganda.
Iran exports terrorism. Until they overthrow those twisted mullahs, their economy will be dead.
Iranians should fear the future.
Repent, and be saved. This may take a HUGE attitude readjustment.
Nations pretty much deserve the governments which come to assume power over them.
If Iran’s petroleum refinery and port facilities were destroyed, along with our sanctions, Iran’s economy would be so devastated they would be begging for a new deal with Trump, and would make any concession to get it. So go ahead Iran, and launch more missiles at Israel... I wonder if Russia is ready to take in Iranian refugees?
1400 yrs of islam & still incompatible with everyone. Eat pork!
The Mullahs fear the future...
Good. That’s more cause for more Iranians to join the organized opposition to the Mullahs in Tehran. If that opposition can again have, now. the kind of massive anti-government protests that Obama ignored in 2009, they will have a supportive U.S. president who is listening and will tell the world to support THEM.
The Iranians must have shi’ite all over themselves after see Netanyahu and Putin together....lol
Did ValJar write this hokum?
From 9-11 to the attacks in Paris to San Bernadino, the terrorist attacks that have caused carnage to noncombatant citizens have been radical Sunni, not Iranian or Shiite.
