...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
is trying to satisfy Israel and the Israeli lobby in the United States by reneging on the Iran nuclear deal, an American writer and retired professor says.
James Petras, a professor emeritus of sociology at Binghamton University in Binghamton, New York, and adjunct professor at Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia in Canada, in an interview with Press TV on Tuesday, shortly before Trump was set to decide on the nuclear deal.
Trump has declared that he would pull the US out of the nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which lifted nuclear-related sanctions on Tehran in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program.
"Most expectations regarding President Trump’s decision whether to abandon the nuclear agreement... [is] that Trump will sabotage the agreement and withdraw," Professor Petras said.
"There is a some possibility that he will accept on the basis of Iran reversing its commitments to defend itself with intercontinental missiles, and would abandon Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic...and Syria and Hezbollah and other defense partners," he stated.
"This is highly unlikely on the part of Iran," he added. "And I think Trump is using these possibilities as a bargaining point to convince the Europeans to support him."
"But the consensus here is that Trump is trying to satisfy Israel and the Israeli lobby in the United States by reneging on the agreement," the analyst said.
"Now some of his advisers, not many but a few, are arguing that by breaking the agreement with Iran Trump is prejudicing his negotiations with
North Korea, because the North Koreans can have very little trust in any agreement with Trump in light of the fact that an agreement in one year is reneged the following year," he noted."It’s very dubious that anyone will trust Trump signing any agreement on the basis that it’s not trustworthy," the scholar concluded.
