Europe Scrambles to Save Iran Nuclear Deal

PARIS — European leaders expressed deep concern on Friday that President Trump would decertify the Iran nuclear deal, a pact they view as an important step toward averting conflict in the Middle East, with implications for tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

President Trump is expected declare on Friday his intention not to certify Iran’s compliance with the 2015 accord, an act that would kick to Congress a decision about whether to reimpose sanctions on the country.

From Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, leaders across the continent voiced alarm at the prospect of Mr. Trump undermining the 2015 deal, which Iran negotiated with Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States.

away from the moderate factions that signed the deal and wanted to improve relations with Europe. Now Trump has weaken their position and opened the door to the return of the militant hardliners who, like Trump, want to tear up the treaty and go back to developing nuclear weapons.

Then what? If the treaty is not in force and Trump is dashing around like a mad dog, threatening, taunting and tormenting Iran, prodding them to react, pushing them to take steps to defend their country from potential US attacks, what happens then? Trump gets another target for his nuclear ambitions to blow up the world.
