Iran's Hassan Rouhani cast doubt over the landmark 2015 nuclear agreement, threatening to walk away from the deal and restart the country nuclear program if the US continued to impose new sanctions against the Islamic Republic. Rouhani warned that Iran could go nuclear again "in an hour and a day" if the US refused to cease its "threats and sanctions."

Each side has accused the other of violating the spirit the 2015 deal, which saw the world's leading power agree to lift sanctions against Iran in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program and caps on its uranium enrichment levels. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly lambasted the nature of the deal, once describing it as the "worst deal ever."

Iran, meanwhile, has carried out a series of ballistic tests in recent weeks, prompting the US to respond by imposing sanctions against individuals and companies alleged to be supporting Iran's missile program. That, in turn, has only spurred the Iranian regime to ratchet up military spending by more than half a billion dollars to fight Washington's "adventurism." Rouhani admitted that he would prefer to stick to the nuclear agreement, but warned that this was not the "only option."

1. Who can fault other countries

for wanting to prepare themselves for a nuclear invasion? The USA is being led by a raving lunatic, equal to N. Korea's "leader", What are they supposed to do, wait until the orange menace has a bad day then decides to invade someone, anyone? The gop owns this disaster, they alone should take responsibility for this, instead of treating him as though he is NORMAL. He is insane. He has to be reined in before it is too late for us all.

4. It was lost on the imbeciles

but I pointed out to the conservatives beating the war drum with them that we had just invaded within two years the countries to the east and west of Iran ...

They are a menace, for sure, but it isn't hard to see how the people there would not feel threatened.
