In which case why do we need the deal? What do we lose if it is canceled?
The deal was to halt Iran's nuclear development, if the deal falls apart they will kick out the inspectors and we will end up back where we where. If you care about their ability then what is the next step. It seems like their nuclear ability was more of a concern for Israel, their capability was no where even close to NK.

So now where do we go, what is Trumps plan B.
The flaw in your logic is that you assume no repercussions on Iran. Sanctions will, again, force them into a predicament where they need to decide between nuclear weapons or economic success.
Under Obama's deal, we were basically buying them off, to temporarily halt production of nuclear weapons. Iran knew they had the better end of the deal, which is why they were vehemently opposed to us pulling out.
Suppose I'm the CEO of a company and come to you with an offer. If members on the board of directors do not like the deal and they warn you of the potential that the next CEO can cancel the deal who's fault is that when it is cancelled?
Now, we all know that President Putin, of Russia, was, at least in public, against President Trump's withdrawing from the multi-country Iranian nuclear agreement.
But was he really against it?
Last night I read that a Russian news show had discussed how the country was going to obtain the billions (or trillions, I forget which) of Rubles to help their economy. According to what I read (sorry, no link), one of the commentators said something like "Well, with the United States re-imposing sanctions against Iran, oil prices will go up, which will help our economy".
Even as I write, crude oil prices are up 2 to 3 percent this morning. Here is a website I like to check on from time to time (since I get royalty payments):

There are repercussions both ways, I don't see the perfect deal coming out of our withdrawal. The plan for what happens next is missing from the conversation, any steps we take from this point on will be enormously complicated. I did not see any urgency that this needed to be done at this point in time.

And how many other days this year could you have written the same? Oil prices were up significantly this year even before this latest move. This may or may not have a significant effect on prices but as an investor you surely must know the foolishness of drawing conclusions based on immediate dips and spikes. By tomorrow morning they could be down 2 to 3 percent.

Every stock market analysis will tell you - - not participating in the Iran deal will have an impact on oil prices.
How can you argue against that?
It would be better to argue that you believe it is a negative we need to live with.
