US' dangerous attitude to Iran

US President Donald Trump on Friday officially disavowed the international nuclear deal with Iran, calling it weak and poorly constructed. He has given the US Congress days to decide whether to re-impose sanctions that had been lifted on Iran and said that he may seek to terminate the deal.
Iran responded strongly to his comments, with its foreign minister saying that it has the right to make a decision on its presence in the deal if the United States re-imposes sanctions.
If the US' actions lead to Iran resuming its efforts to develop nuclear weapons, it will plunge the Middle East into an arms race, and make the unstable situation in the region even more chaotic.
