Trump To Declare Iran Deal Not In America’s Interests, Setting Stage For Epic Disaster
Well, in what will surprise exactly no one but in what is most assuredly a horrific foreign policy blunder, Donald Trump is set to declare that the Iran nuclear deal is not in America's national interest.

I always enjoy reading THR on the middle east, especially when the US media’s coverage is so distracted.
