Donald Trump on Tuesday afternoon announced the US would violate the Iran nuclear agreement, nearly three years after the the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was struck.

In exiting the JCPOA, Trump broke from US allies in Europe and has potentially triggered a new crisis in the Gulf.

We’re closing down the live blog, but more news and analysis is coming this evening. Here’s where things are at now:

The possibility of Iran giving up their nuclear plans carries with it the "danger" of Iran being seen as not that big of a threat. Israel and Saudi Arabia need Iran to keeping looking as threatening as possible. More American weapons are likely to be sold, though...so at least it'll be good for your economy?

Just how awful Trump is, but it's a Class III TDS day for them. You know, our children are less safe now that Trump has broken this wonderful deal, blah, blah. It's always fun to watch then freak out, basically like when Trump started calling Kim Jong III Rocket Man.

I don't know what the affect of the US pulling out of this is going to be, all I know is when we bribed the NorKs not to make Nukes, they just used the money to make Nukes............. seems like a similar situation here.

EU top diplomat calls others to honor Iran deal after Trump pulls out

Iran says it will work with Russia, China, EU on deal

Interesting. The nature of the sanctions the US may resume says that in addition to Iran, any business that does business with Iran must also be sanctioned. Which means if the EU and China do indeed continue to honor the deal, the US would be required to sanction a lot of foreign business.

Which would lead us to a fascinating game of macroeconomic chicken: either the other nations blink and fall in line with US sanctions... or soon we will discover just how little the US's foreign policy decisions actually matter on the world stage these days.

International trade and diplomacy may end up interpreting the US as damage and route around it.

It’ll be something to behold.
Europe can make it’s choice - they still part of western Civ, or is Communism their next destination.

Why? Who cares that much about Iran?
