How trump Turned Iran into a Nuclear Superpower.

Fast forward ten years.

China, Iran Approach Major Accord Amid Deteriorating US-China Relations

"Beijing is reported to be in the final stages of approving a $400 billion economic and security deal with Tehran, which some analysts say could give China a vast and secure source of energy and a strategic foothold in the Gulf. 

Iran’s foreign ministry has confirmed that the potential agreement includes significant infrastructure investments and closer cooperation on defense and intelligence sharing. It’s also rumored to include discounts for Iranian oil. 

The deal is the latest step in Beijing’s attempt to expand from a regional hegemony to a world power via its Belt and Road Initiative."

That should provide the military might to protect its recently bombed centrifuges. The needed cash to reinvigorate its nuclear program. The shield of China to keep tankers pouring cheap oil into China.

The US’s demand to extend the arms embargo against Iran, due to expire in four months, has been rejected by the members of the United Nation Security Council (UNSC) including China and Russia.

"The other permanent members of the UNSC – the UK and France – also failed to support the extension of the embargo against Iran.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned that lifting the ban on the trade of conventional weapons would turn Iran into a “rogue weapons dealer,” supplying advanced weapons to groups like Hamas and Hezbollah and fueling conflicts in Venezuela, Syria and Afghanistan."

So how did trump's "great negotiating" , "maximum pressure" all turn out?

Hi Phil,

Re:  'So how did trump's "great negotiating" , "maximum pressure" all turn out?'

Just like all of his other 'deals,' that's why he has gone bankrupt so many times.
