Obama termed Donald Trump’s decision as ‘misguided’ violation of Iran deal

Barack Obama on Tuesday criticised Donald trumps decision of USA’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal. The Former president of USA termed it as “misguided” decision.

Obama issued a lengthy written statement after Trump announced the US would break with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) despite the urging of European allies and some of his own advisers.

“In a democracy, there will always be changes in policies and priorities from one Administration to the next. But the consistent flouting of agreements that our country is a party to risks eroding America’s credibility, and puts us at odds with the world’s major powers,” Obama said.

“I believe that the decision to put the JCPOA at risk without any Iranian violation of the deal is a serious mistake,” added Obama.

Obama worried that “The United States could eventually be left with a losing choice between a nuclear-armed Iran or another war in the Middle East.”

Earlier today US President Donald Trump said USA will withdraw from the Obama-era nuclear agreement with Iran. Calling it “decaying and rotten”, he said the deal was “an embarrassment” to him “as a citizen”. Going against advice from European allies, he said he would reimpose economic sanctions that were waived when the deal was signed in 2015.
