Obama on U.S. Iran Deal Exit: This ‘Turns Our Back on America’s Closest Allies’
This is like Neville Chamberlain defending his Munich pact with Hitler after the outbreak of World War II.
The worst president in American history is ignoring the fact that Netanyahu just proved that the Iran deal is not working.

“Finally, the JCPOA was never intended to solve all our problems with Iran,” he said.
“Because of these facts, I believe that the decision to put the JCPOA at risk without any Iranian violation of the deal is a serious mistake,” Obama wrote….
