Recommendation
US president Donald Trump’s plan to withdraw America from the Iran nuclear deal may fulfill one of his crucial campaign promises, but the broader implications of this decision remain open. The agreement’s other signatories – France, Germany, the United Kingdom, China and Russia – staunchly oppose the move, warning that the demise of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) would lead to increased destabilization and economic upheaval in the Middle East. getAbstract recommends this report by the Economist Intelligence Unit to shed light on the main terms of the JCPOA and explore the likely consequences of a US withdrawal.
In this summary, you will learn
- What the terms of the Iran nuclear deal require of its signatories,
- Why the Trump administration wants to withdraw from the deal, and
- How Iran and the other signatories would likely react to the United States’ withdrawal.
