Trump was right about Iran

Western European leaders are finally realizing that President Trump made the right move about getting rid of the Iran nuclear deal. Some of the statements he made on the deal were:

"The fact is this was a horrible, one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made. It didn't bring calm, it didn't bring peace, and it never will."

"At the heart of the Iran deal was a giant fiction that a murderous regime desired only a peaceful nuclear energy program. Today, we have definitive proof that this Iranian promise was a lie."

Diplomats on Tuesday, from the U.K., the Netherlands and France expressed concerns with the Saturday medium-range ballistic missile test Iran performed.

U.S.  officials stated that the latest missile Iran tested could reach Europe and the Middle East.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, said that the missile could carry multiple warheads and that it violated Security Council Resolution 2231, which instructed Iran to refrain from “any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology.”

That resolution was the implementation of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA).

President Trump walked away from the deal last May, but China, France, Germany, Russia and the U.K. stayed with the deal.

However, after the missile test, the U.K. and France called a closed-door meeting of the Security Council. The government of France stated that, “France is concerned by the launch of a medium-range ballistic missile by Iran on Saturday. It condemns this provocative and destabilizing act. France reiterates that the Iranian ballistic missile program is not in compliance with UNSCR 2231 (2015). It calls on Iran to immediately cease any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be able to carry nuclear weapons, including launches using ballistic missile technology.”

Finally, France removed its collective cranium from its deepest recesses of its collective nether regions.

As Fox News reports, the European ambassadors joined in expressing their concern:

U.K. Ambassador Karen Pierce called the actions "part and parcel of Iran's destabilizing activities in the region."

Her words echo U.K. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who on Saturday admitted that he was “deeply concerned by Iran’s actions," even as he reiterated support for the nuclear deal to avoid having to look like the U.K. was stupid to go along with it. “Provocative, threatening and inconsistent with UNSCR 2231. Our support for JCPoA in no way lessens our concern at Iran’s destabilizing missile program and determination that it should cease,” he tweeted.

Dutch Ambassador Karel van Oosterom added, “This kind of ballistic missile activity is inconsistent with the JCPoA , especially Annex B which calls on Iran not to engage in these kinds of activities.”

So Trump was right--the deal was a waste of paper and a lot of U.S. currency.

Even French Ambassador François Delattre avowed the test was "inconsistent" with the resolution, and he urged the terrorist nation to "immediately cease any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be able to carry nuclear weapons, including launches using ballistic missile technology."

To which Iran replied: "Allahu Akbar!"

Still, the group displayed its usual wussyshistic  attitude toward Iran, with the resolution stating it only “calls upon” Iran to stop its ballistic tests instead of demanding a cessation. Adding: "Please don't get mad at us."

On Tuesday, U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley, in her typically gutsy manner, said the ballistic test was "dangerous and concerning, but not surprising" adding, “The United States has repeatedly warned the world about Iran’s deliberate efforts to destabilize the Middle East and defy international norms. The international community cannot keep turning a blind eye every time Iran blatantly ignores Security Council resolutions. If the Security Council is serious about holding Iran accountable and enforcing our resolutions, then at a minimum we should be able to deliver a unanimous condemnation of this provocative missile test."

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), whose father did not take part in any assassination attempts said, “The United States has only begun to reverse the damage done by Obama's Iran nuclear deal, which gave the Ayatollahs the resources and diplomatic breathing room to build more and better ballistic missiles. The last round of sanctions, while important, clearly failed to deter Iran from advancing their missile program. It's time to totally cut off Iran from the global financial system and deny them the resources they're using to threaten us and our allies.”
