“A horrible one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made” - the words of President Trump after he withdrew the US from the international nuclear pact with Iran. And he’s re-imposing sanctions on Tehran.

Trump has the backing of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Israel. But not China, Russia, the UK, France or Germany...who all signed the deal and want it to survive.
