Anything good coming out of this stopped at Trump's breaking the agreement. I am afraid we are delaying something very bad in that region.

The US has had a troubled relationship with Iran for some time.

  No, the parent poster is correct. Things had started to go well. Then the US pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, despite the fact that Iran was in full compliance with it.

    > Iran was in full compliance with it [citation needed] If you trust Iran's word that yeah we're totally not developing nukes then sure.

  A long history of troubled relationships requires people who know that history and react to it. Right now we have people who care only about their personal feelings/cockfight than what consequences those actions will have. Just imagine broken Iran (+ other failed nations in that region) with a middle eastern's definition of fascism in Saudi Arabia, Water and Global Warming issues in the future and boy now everyone is going to be in trouble.

I beg to differ. It seems that when Obama made the Iran Deal, he secretly allowed Iran to continue to have access to the US banking system. [1] This allowed Iran to fund many different terrorist organizations. 1. https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/obama-iran-terrorism/ https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/obama-iran-ter...
