Iran Abandons Nuclear Deal After US Kills Qassem Soleimani

Iran will no longer abide by the limits of the 2015 nuclear deal intended to curb its burgeoning nuclear program, according to a statement from the regime.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran will end its final limitations in the nuclear deal, meaning the limitation in the number of centrifuges,” the statement reads. “Therefore Iran’s nuclear program will have no limitations in production including enrichment capacity and percentage and number of enriched uranium and research and expansion.”

A government spokesman said Iran would not respect any limits set down in the 2015 agreement, CNBC reported. It means there will be no more restrictions on uranium enrichment, the number of centrifuges, and research and development, reported Iranian state television.

The announcement came following an emergency meeting held by Iran’s National Security Council on Sunday over its nuclear policy in the aftermath of the United States’ killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad, reported The New York Times.

The regime said Iran would still cooperate with the International Atomic Agency if sanctions were lifted, according to the NY Times.

The move also follows escalating tensions and threats made by Iranian and U.S. officials over the weekend.

The left are like “Yes, he was a bad bad man, BUT... We shouldn’t have killed him because of the consequences of doing so”

What the left ARE saying is this

“Yes, He was a bad bad man, BUT... We should have ignored him as he went on his merry way murdering our brave men and women soldiers and ambassadors because we are afraid of what the consequences might be”

Piss off liberal terror apologists!

This is a joke, right?

Like AOC saying she is abandoning common sense.

Like democrats saying they are abandoning their support for the US constitution.

Like MSNBC saying it’s abandoning its support for journalism.

Like Obama gave then $150 billion of taxpayer money, and now they won’t abide with the Nuclear Deal? Hell they never did. My question is who authorized the $150 billion for Obama’s deal?

George Webb claims/speculates that Soleimani was a key player in the Iran nuclear deal where 75 billion was kicked back to the deep state in return for weapons.

European treaty signatories are saddened that their Iranian nuclear treaty wasn’t worth the paper it was written on after all ...

of course everyone will try to blame the U.S. and Trump for the fact that Iran abrogated EUROPE’S treaty with Iran, but that does sort of ring hollow to anyone who bothers to think about it ...

“How can they “abandon” something they never signed or abided by?”

Kind of a CHEAP SHOT at Iran. Of course they signed it, since it was totally in their favor. As to abiding by it, that was optional, and they, needless to say, chose to not abide.

Now, PLEASE, do not imply that the Iranians are so dumb as to look at a PERFECT opportunity to destroy Israel and the US (and others) and walk away from it.
