Four things that have happened since Trump tore up the Iran deal

By Mark | May 9, 2018

Ok, I’ve got four additional things I want to mention about Trump’s proclamation yesterday that the United States would no longer honor its obligations under the multinational Iran deal.

Ripping up the Iran deal… And why Trump can’t answer the very simple question, “How does this make us safer?”

By Mark | May 8, 2018

About a week and a half ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a news conference at the Ministry of Defence in Tel Aviv, where he stood in front of an enormous “Iran lied” graphic, and talked of the country’s covert nuclear arms program.
