The so-called “Iran Deal” was never meant to serve as a starting point
for rapprochement between Washington and Tehran, but rather as a
pretext for greater confrontation. US
President Donald Trump’s administration capitalized on developments in
Saudi Arabia’s losing war in Yemen, as well as a missile test conducted
by the Iranian government, to portray Iran as ungrateful for a
diplomatic deal the administration’s now resigned National Security
Adviser Michael Flynn suggested should never have been made in the first
place.
