Obama official thinks Trump's strategy worked
"Don't buy the World War 3 spin. The mullahs in Iran are in deep doo-doo. President Donald John Trump's economic sanctions have killed the economy, and the people rise in protest.
Ray Takeyh wrote, "Why the Death of an Iranian Commander Won’t Mean World War III. The U.S. dealt a major blow in taking out Iran’s imperial strategist. But the mullahs’ next move likely won’t be a dramatic escalation."
He is a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. Born in Iran, he taught at the National War College and advised the Obama administration on Iran.
He wrote, "His death will be a blow to the Iranian theocracy but — contrary to what many observers are warning — could very likely temper the clerical oligarchs, who tend to retreat in face of American determination."
Bullies are the biggest cowards.
He wrote, "Past is often prologue in Iran. When a truculent Ronald Reagan assumed the presidency, Iran hastily released the American diplomats it had held hostage for 444 days. When George W. Bush’s shock and awe campaign quickly displaced the Taliban in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Iran responded by suspending its nuclear program. The mullahs relish assaulting America but are circumspect when facing a tough-minded, unpredictable president. The Islamic Republic had already pledged to retreat further from its nuclear obligations by next week. A move in that direction seems more likely at this point, as opposed to blowing up American diplomatic and military outposts."
Contrast and compare to Obama acquiescing to the mullah's demands.
The death of General Qassim Soleimani should be a turning point because of President Trump's ability to stop others (including Red China) from buying Iranian oil.
Takeyh wrote, "As the commemoration ceremonies begin in Iran, it is important to stress that the imperial edifice that Soleimani built was already stressed. The sanctions reimposed by the Trump administration after its abrogation of the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal have depleted Iran’s economy, calling into question its foreign policy imperatives. In November, Iran was rocked by massive demonstrations as the regime had to curtail its onerous fuel subsidies. An uneasy path lies ahead for the clerical oligarchs. The last thing they need is a costly confrontation with a president willing to do things they once considered unimaginable."
Regime change is possible, and never forget this is Donald Trump's ultimate goal. He wants to rid the world of dictators. He prefers to use tariffs and sanctions, but he has plenty of drones and missiles.
Iran needs to cut a deal with him before they lose their country.
I suggest the mullahs call President Donald Trump by dialing 1-800-WE-SURRENDER. "

From the comments:
"Iran is a great nation high-jacked by evil men. Let's hope that its people can throw off their yoke like the Egyptians did in bringing down the Muslim Brotherhood."

Are you an expert on the demon possessed? Or just a Trump defender? I suspect the latter since you are just following your beloved leader's behavior. Be sure to hold up old Donald as a role model.

Purposely misleading, since the agreement was with Russia, China, United Kingdom, the United States and several other world leaders. Now bumbling Trump has stumbled into the war in Revelation. Obama had the Nuclear problem solved for another 10 years but that was too long for a big baby like Trump. He wants to watch the mushroom clouds appear.
Either that or he knew that Moscow Mitch would bury it deep which he did. Is it the same with all Republicans? Like Nixon, Moscow Mitch and Trump? Disasters all. Only the Rich could vote for such.
right back at you bro...
No one is richer than the Dems. So many of them are now going to the funeral in Tehran. The general was cremated but he has gone to be with Allah & has his 72 virgins. No one knew his pronouns but he recited poetry when he wasn't murdering people for fun. He won the Margaret Sanger award. Mohammed was 54 when he married 9 year old Alisha.
How is what I said purposely misleading? It does not matter who else the agreement was with, for it to be binding on the United States it needed to go before the Senate for ratification - it didn't. So like the Paris climate accords, this was an agreement between one presidential administration and other countries. When that administration left office the succeeding administration was not obligated to adhere to it in any way, shape, manner, or form.
Do you really think Iran was on the up and up with their nuclear machinations? One of the worst parts of this agreement was the returning of billions of dollars to the Iranians - which they promptly used to foster terrorism in the Middle East. Giving that money to them was one of the dumbest things any American President has ever done.

Nice touch with that last clip, the one where he starts with, "I brought my Bible." The clip is stamped "Bloomberg Politics."
So Trump gets to define what it means to be an American?
Uh, no, don't think that's what he's doing....

It's Trumps fault, since he worked through Moscow Mitch to kill the agreement. IOW, Trump is responsible for this New War he is promoting. From Wiki:
The Iran nuclear deal framework was a preliminary framework agreement reached in 2015 between the Islamic Republic of Iranand a group of world powers: the P5+1 (the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council—the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, France, and China—plus Germany) and the European Union.
So WHY do you keep calling this world wide agreement Obama's.
Parroting the "great leader" Trump is sure to fail. The money belonged to them. The agreement would have kept Iran from becoming Nuclear. Warmonger Trump can't stand to see anyone else getting their money since he wants it all. The man is deranged and disturbed. Lock him up is what should happen.
Iran under that agreement had to wait 10 years, than could full stream ahead for nuke! And the 150 Billion dollars given to them would have meant thousands more would be killed in their terrorism, including God only knows how many American soldiers!
Our college need not worry about WW III. The military wouldn't want a bunch of snowflakes who need a safe space with coloring books and soymilk, just saying.
Iran has now attacked Al Asad AF base in Iraq. Im sure that Trump will respond.

Because Obama's "agreement" was not legally binding on the nation because he did not present it to the United States Senate for ratification, so therefore in reality it was only an agreement between President Obama and the other nations you listed.
What don't you understand about the Constitution and agreements (treaties) between our nation and foreign governments? Until such things are ratified by the United States Senate they are not legally binding on the nation at large.
Article 2, Section 2, Paragraph 2, of the U.S. Constitution says: He (the President) shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur;
So please tell me the date and the roll call of the vote by the Senators present that this happened?
