On May 8, 2018 (March 23, 2018 lunar calendar), the United States officially withdrew from the Iran nuclear agreement. US President Trump officially announced at 2:00 pm local time on May 8, 2018 that the United States withdrew from the Iran nuclear agreement and will impose the highest level of sanctions on Iran. This agreement is the "Iran nuclear agreement" reached three years ago by the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, including China and the United States itself, plus Germany, and Iran, a Middle Eastern country that has been studying nuclear weapons. Previously, Iran, the number one enemy of the United States in the Middle East, has been severely threatened by the security of the United States and its Middle Eastern allies (especially Israel) because it has been developing nuclear weapons, which has seriously threatened the security of the United States and its Middle Eastern allies (especially Israel). Especially under former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran pursued its nuclear program in defiance of Western sanctions. But after the relatively moderate Rouhani became Iran's president in 2013, Iran, which was increasingly struggling under Western sanctions, expressed a clear willingness to negotiate a halt to its nuclear weapons program. Eventually, with the help of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and Germany, Iran signed an agreement on July 14, 2015, called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. It was willing to destroy its nuclear weapons research capabilities in accordance with the rules and requirements of the agreement, and to strictly limit its nuclear program to a purely civilian scope that would only be used to develop nuclear power plants. The United States and the West also agreed to lift many major sanctions against Iran. The agreement was also applauded around the world at the time, including by leaders of the United States and European countries. Then-President Barack Obama of the United States said that the agreement would make the United States and the world safer. However, Israel, Iran's number one enemy in the Middle East, strongly opposed the agreement, arguing that all of Iran's nuclear capabilities should be abolished, and now the agreement will only allow the Iranians to continue secretly developing nuclear weapons. Some people in the United States echoed Israel's dissatisfaction, believing that the agreement appeased Iran and was a "traitorous agreement", such as the current US President Donald Trump. Therefore, as early as when Trump was still running for the US presidency, he has been promoting that he would withdraw the United States from the "disastrous" "Iran nuclear deal" and continue to sanction Iran after being elected. After being elected president, Trump immediately began to press ahead with this plan, and promised that he would announce the latest US decision on the "Iran nuclear deal" by May 12. However, except for the United States, all the countries involved in the negotiation of the Iran nuclear deal three years ago are strongly opposed to the United States withdrawing from this important agreement that they believe has effectively curbed Iran's development of nuclear weapons. And the opposition of the United Kingdom, France and Germany, the three largest allies of the United States in Europe, is the most obvious. In the past month, the leaders of France, Britain and Germany have contacted Trump and even visited the door to ask him not to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal. After all, if the United States reneges on such a major international agreement, will there be no peace in the Middle East if Iran follows suit and resumes nuclear weapons research, or even makes a more dangerous retaliation? So, in order to change Trump's mind, the leaders of France and Germany, two major European Union countries, expressed their willingness to allow Trump to "supplement" the agreement during their visit to the United States - as long as he does not withdraw from the agreement. In their opinion, an Iran without nuclear weapons is always better managed than a nuclear Iran. At the same time, the International Atomic Energy Agency and the United Nations have also strongly opposed Trump's move to withdraw the United States from the Iran nuclear deal, because Iran has indeed been fulfilling its commitments under the agreement after signing the agreement in 2015, no longer conducting any nuclear weapons research, and destroying its own nuclear weapons research facilities. Several investigations by the International Atomic Energy Agency over the past three years have also confirmed that the Iranians are trustworthy. There is also a rather interesting story: Netanyahu, the leader of Iran's number one enemy, Israel, recently showed a so-called "classified document on Iran's nuclear weapons" discovered by the country's intelligence agencies, and accused Iran of "deceiving the world". However, the International Atomic Energy Agency said that they had seen the document as early as 13 years ago, and asked Israel why it used an old document more than 10 years ago to accuse today's Iran of "cheating." In the end, Netanyahu "humiliated himself" and was exposed by Western media who were also disgusted by his approach. But no matter how much the Iranians keep their promises on the issue of nuclear weapons, it will never be enough in Trump's opinion. At 2 am today, Trump announced the decision of the United States to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal despite the opposition of the world and the dissuasion of allies. In his speech announcing the decision, Trump said that the framework of the Iran nuclear deal was simply not enough to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, so he decided to scrap the "lie" agreement and impose a new round of severe sanctions on Iran. He even threatened that "any country that dares to help Iran obtain nuclear weapons will be subject to severe sanctions from the United States." At present, the leaders of Britain, France and Germany have jointly issued a statement expressing "regret and concern" about Trump's decision. Reuters and other Western media have described Trump's decision in their reports as "will lead to new turmoil in the Middle East, will lead to dissatisfaction with European allies, and will lead to uncertainty in international crude oil supplies." The latest statement from the Iranian side is that they will continue to negotiate with the three European countries, as well as China and Russia, to try to save the agreement. But if the agreement cannot be maintained and Iran cannot taste the sweetness, then Iran will [restart nuclear weapons research]. In addition, the Iranian foreign minister also complained to the three European countries, thinking that they are very useless and have been played by Trump. CNN also stressed in a report: From withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement to threatening tariff sanctions, this is not the first time Trump has openly betrayed and provoked European allies. Finally, Brother Geng Zhige suddenly remembered this "Team America-style" declaration issued by the US Embassy in China on its official Weibo the day before yesterday, which feels very "philosophical" today.
