Scrapping Iran deal may trigger uncontrollable events

President Donald Trump has vowed to withdraw the US from the July 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or the "nuclear agreement", and reimpose sanctions on Iran unless it is renegotiated. He wants the removal of the agreement's sunset clauses, curbing of Iran's ballistic missile program and regional influence, and more intrusive inspections of Iran's nuclear and military facilities. Tehran has rejected any renegotiation of the signed multilateral agreement, which continues to be backed by the other four permanent members of the UN Security Council, plus Germany. Donald Trump has set a deadline for the renegotiation of the Iran nuclear deal. The JCPOA materialised after nearly two years of hard-hitting negotiations. The US and Iran had to move substantially from their original positions. Washington abandoned its insistence on Iran foregoing its entire nuclear program, and Tehran gave up its resolve to continue its uranium enrichment at a high level.
