It’s official – President Trump has pulled the United States out of the “Iran Deal” this morning, fulfilling a campaign promise and following up on Israel’s revelation of information.

The president made the announcement from the White House.

President Trump on Tuesday announced plans to leave the Iran nuclear deal, declaring the pact has failed to halt the country’s nuclear ambitions in perhaps the biggest foreign policy decision of his administration.

Speaking at the White House, Trump said: “I am announcing today the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.”

Trump for months had left open whether he would move to scrap the pact, and his apparent decision to re-impose sanctions has rattled European rattles and leaves unclear how Tehran will respond.

But Trump scorched the deal in his Tuesday remarks, saying it put only weak limits on the regime’s nuclear activity and still would allow Iran to pursue a nuclear weapon once key parts of the agreement lapse.

“This was a horrible, one-sided deal that should have never ever been made,” he said. “… The Iran deal is defective at its core.”

A source said that Trump’s announcement will start a 90-day countdown to the restoration of sanctions. Once sanctions are re-imposed, the U.S. effectively would be out of the deal.

“At the heart of the Iran deal was a giant fiction, that a murderous regime desired only a peaceful, nuclear energy program,” Trump said Tuesday. “Today, we have definitive proof that this Iranian promise was a lie.”

Cue the sad Obama loyalists, who are heartbroken to see their alternative fantasy fiction of a nuclear deal get tossed out the window like a piece of garbage.

Former UN Ambassador Samantha Power:

I will never forget the dark cloud that hung over the White House in the years Iran was advancing nuclear program & Obama was briefed on all the risks of using military force. (1/2) https://t.co/bngRZKhmeZ

Trump has demolished America’s credibility & paved the way for Iran to re-start its nuclear program. Trump has done the unthinkable: isolated the US & rallied the world around Iran. The costs of using military force have only increased. (2/2)

Speechwriter Jon Favreau:

The President’s “accomplishment” today is making it easier for Iran to re-start its nuclear weapons program.

For this, he’ll get a big cheer from the same crowd who got us into Iraq.

Vote them out. Vote them all out.

Bonus tweet: blame the Jews!

I’d like to know what rich and powerful Iran deal opponents hired Israeli spies to stalk my friends because of their policy beliefs. Perhaps Congress might try to find out before the same people hire foreign spies to stalk them and their families: https://t.co/CciQTMpB1u

And the man behind the fan fiction, Ben Rhodes:

Trump is about to do something opposed by the American people and our closest allies for no reason other than the fact that Barack Obama was involved in negotiating the Iran Deal. https://t.co/tt2yPgPv2Z

It took five years of diplomacy to build the sanctions regime and two years of diplomacy to reach a Deal. Trump is blowing that up with no understanding of what's actually in the Deal, no plan for what comes next, and no support from our closest European allies, Russia or China. https://t.co/59c3uQtKI5

Beyond the potentially catastrophic consequences with Iran, Trump's decision is devastating to U.S. credibility globally. After this, why would anyone trust an international agreement that the U.S. negotiates?

*cough*

Remember how Ben Rhodes bragged about lying to sell the Iran deal? Remember how Iran captured and humiliated our sailors? Remember how they killed and injured hundreds of American troops in Iraq? https://t.co/uF6X1eSgFC https://t.co/ZXwKTJ7Bdt

Look who does approve of the ending of the deal…

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia fully supports the measures taken by @POTUS with regards to the JCPOA. we always had reservations with regards to sunset clauses, ballistic missiles program, and Iran’s support for terrorism in the region.

This deal was junk from the beginning and was done to pad Obama’s foreign policy legacy. No one except the most hardened leftists and Obama apologists should cry over it.

And now what happens? Well, maybe this…

Eli Lake says now that the US is out of the Iran deal, the task must be to engage and support the growing movement for democracy in Iran. Lake is right, and has emerged as one of the best commentators on this issue:https://t.co/UfQ0eQm1xa

When the sanctions are re-imposed in 90 days, that’s when we’ll really know how Iran will react.
