US president Donald Trump defied international
allies and announced America’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear
agreement on Tuesday, unravelling years of international diplomacy and plunging
the wider Middle East region into uncertainty.

America would withdraw from the agreement, denouncing the nuclear deal struck
by his predecessor Barack Obama and six other countries as “defective

incremental withdrawal, he instead announced that America would begin
reinstating sanctions that were waived under the 2015 deal and impose new
economic sanctions on Iran.
