END OF THE IRAN DEAL
09-05-2018Attached are the remarks of US Presidfent Trump, announcing the renunciation of the agreement with Iran, concluded in 2015 by his predecessor President Obama. The text of the 2015 deal can be found earlier in ths News section. The principal reason for President Trump is to undo what his predecessor had done. It further divides the United States and adds to the distrust in the Atlantic Alliance.
Still it is important to study the remarks, especially with respect to the nature of the current Iranian regime. Concluding agreements with a regime supporting terrorism abroad and repressing its own people, is bound to be risky, as at least the European Governments might have learned from the Munich Agreement with Hitler in 1938.

As a first step, they created the European Coal and Steel Community together with Italy and the Benelux countries. The fathers of this new Europe were visionary persons. Does today`s student or scholar still know who Robert Schuman, Konrad Adenauer, Alcide de Gasperi or Willem Beyen were and what they stood for?
