Christiane Amanpour on Iran Deal: "Regime Change Crew" Is Back In The White House (RealClearPolitics)

CNN international correspondent Christiane Amanpour comments on President Trump backing the U.S. out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, saying the "regime change crew" from the Bush administration is back. 
 

CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR: How does this make America safer? It is incredibly difficult to try to fathom that sitting from here. All those things that he laid out about the danger of Iran, its regional ambitions, about supporting terrorism and the like. How does pulling out of one deal that constrains -- and it does, no matter what the president says -- the deal constrains Iran's nuclear program. 

So how does pulling out of it make you safe while you are trying to deal with all the other thing when you have no Plan B?

It's very important also to remember that it was George W. Bush, along with his regime change crew, that decided to ditch the Clinton administration's deal with North Korea in the early 2000s. What did that do? They pulled out of the NPT. They kicked out the IAEA inspectors. And now they are conducting nuclear blackmail because they actually do have nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
