The effort to restore virtually sanctions on the republic of iraq iran, pursuant to resolution 2231, the Trump Administration has always been honest about what the Iranian Regime really is, a radical revolutionary and the worlds leading state sponsor of terror and antisemitism. President trump understood that it was an abject failure and it didnt ring iran into the community of nations or blocked their path to a Nuclear Weapon. It was instead an exercise in appeasement, giving billions and paving the way for them to become the arms dealer of choice for terrorist groups and dictators across the world in just five short years.
