As I feared, the United States no longer will be known for keeping to its agreements. We have become the lapdog for Israel.
Mr. President: good luck with North Korea. We never had a basis to believe that they would keep any agreement; now, that Leader will point to the US of A as not keeping to its agreements.
Obama took care of that nagging credibility problem some years ago.

But let me ask everyone here who thinks we should have stayed in the deal: how is Iran behaving in the Middle East? No one is concerned that they're arming and supporting militias and are increasingly aggressive meddling in the area? That they're providing missiles to these rebels? Maybe they feel a bit... encouraged because of the Iran deal Obama 'negotiated'? Let's not forget the $1.3 billion of cash Obama shipped to Iran.
But yeah, it was such a great deal and Trump is a world leader NOOB.
Recent bombings in Afghanistan say the so-called extermination of ISIS is typical Trumpian BS.
Iran will now get a nuclear weapon- my guess is within 5 years.
They will also heavily enter the Russian sphere of influence. Maybe Russia will offer to station nukes there so they don't have to make their own....that's the only thing that might stop it.
The Saudis have claimed they'd get a nuke if Iran got one....and they could easily buy one - maybe off an Islamic Nation like Pakistan?
Get ready folks - lots of more countries will have nukes. Certain Americans see this as a good thing because it gives us more reason to spend $$$ on the Military Industrial Complex.
I understand Trumps position on this issue, Iran is a violent nation who uses proxies to wage war against Israel, Saudi Arabia and to destabilize Syria. They may or may not be cheating on the deal they made. IMO we should have never signed the deal, Trump is right about the fact that it did not go far enough. However we must live up to agreements we have made in the past. Trump is damaging our credibility in the world by doing this. No one will trust the word of the American government if we don’t fulfill our end of the bargains we make. Our allies also are important and they wanted and lobbied us to stick it out. We should have yielded to them on this issue, again our credibility has taken a hit. Trump has proven again he is a bumbling leader on the world stage. I will remind fellow republicans the importance of voting in primary elections, this man should never have won the republican nomination. The other competent choices on the ballot like Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio would have handled this much more professionally and diplomatically. Now we republicans will be saddled with the ill will that Trumps 4 years will bring both domestically and internationally.
Anyone who believes that Iran is not developing nuclear weapons has rocks in their head.
Iran is developing nuclear weapons. The old agreement guaranteed that Iran would someday have nukes.
Iran resides on the most important piece of geopolitical real estate on earth. It bridges Africa, Europe the Middle East and Asia. Its within striking range of 3 major world powers. China, India and Russia.
Its in our interest long term to have the best relationship possible with Iran. Here we are, acting like fools yet again. The sure signs of a decaying power.
It's not THEIR money unless they have it. What happened to it? It all ended up in Syria and Iraq where they are feeding and arming a 100,000 man mercenary army. Happy now?
