Trump Defends Withdrawal from Iran Nuclear Deal Amid Rising Regional Tensions

US President Donald Trump defended his 2018 withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, claiming it prevented Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons years ago. He criticized former Presidents Obama and Biden for the original agreement, describing it as dangerous. Vice President JD Vance supported Trump’s stance, citing failed negotiations and Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Critics argue the deal’s collapse removed oversight, while Iran denies seeking nuclear arms. Recent US-Israel strikes on Iranian targets have escalated tensions in the region.
