President Trump has pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, added sanctions and designated the Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group.

on the steel, aluminum and copper industries, came hours after Iran announced it was withdrawing from parts of an Obama-era nuclear agreement. President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from that deal a year ago but Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China remain.all paths to both a nuclear weapon and intercontinental ballistic missiles, and to counter the totality of Iran's malign influence in the Middle East," Trump said in the order released Wednesday.

He added that revenue from the metals industries"may be used to provide funding and support for the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, terrorist groups and networks, campaigns of regional aggression, and military expansion."In addition to pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action , Trump has added sanctions on Iran and designated Iran's Revolutionary Guard a"foreign terrorist organization.

Congressional Democrats briefed on the intelligence have not disputed it, but have criticized a Trump strategy they say risks war with Iran while providing no benefit to U.S. national security."Iran's malign activities in Yemen, Syria, and elsewhere in the region, and the Iranian regime's hateful rhetoric against our ally, Israel, are dangerous," Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters that any U.S. military action against Iran must have the assent of Congress.

How can he criticize them, when he pulled out of the agreement. Seems like it's no longer any of his business. Our allies must be so pleased.

Bravo POTUS 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Stop spreading positive news about Trump

This moron is starting a war.

Good

What side is Russia on i wonder

Obama was kind of a whimp

Cruel and mean spirited 🤪

Bout time. He’s a dick, but we needed balls at the top

Didn’t he do business with the Revolutionary Guard?

Yes. Trump has gauranteed that Iran has no choice but to come after America (which is what they want). They when they finally do trump will claim it’s their fault and start an unconstitutional war. Trump’s admin is literally plotting to kill American soldiers.

All good moves

Actually tRUmp is a terrorist and the Ratpublican Party is a terrorist organization.

This will back fire. Trump wants a war, if he needs one to change the subject.

All fantastic stuff.

I'm glad he's not just sending them bundles of cash

NK fires off a missile, we send a battlegroup to Iran..LOL

As they are. Lemme guess Ilhan and the rest of her peeps will be defending the Revolutionary Guard now too?
