Trump recycles George W. Bush’s Iraq war WMD propaganda, warning that Iran is planning to strike Europe and the US with nuclear weapons

In 2018, Trump ripped up the diplomatic solution he claims now to be seeking. In 2015, Iran signed The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), an agreement to limit the Iranian nuclear programme in return for the easing of sanctions. In 2018, Trump announced the US was withdrawing from the deal.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was the official ‘watchdog’ tasked with monitoring Iran's compliance. Between 2016 and early 2019, the IAEA issued ten consecutive reports confirming that Iran was sticking to the deal. web.archive.org/web/2018050907
The EU High Representative repeatedly stated that the JCPOA was ‘working and delivering on its goal, namely to ensure that the Iranian programme remains exclusively peaceful, as confirmed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in 11 consecutive reports’. auswaertiges-amt.de/en/newsroom/ne
The UN Secretary-General issued biannual reports to the Security Council that consistently reflected the IAEA's findings, confirming that Iran was meeting its nuclear-related obligations. securitycouncilreport.org/un-documents/i
In 2017, the US State Department twice certified to Congress that Iran was compliant with the deal:
‘In addition, as required by the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015, the Secretary of State certified to Congress on several occasions during the reporting period that: Iran is transparently, verifiably, and fully implementing the JCPOA; it has not committed a material breach with respect to the JCPOA; and Iran has not taken any action during the reporting period, including covert activities, that could significantly advance an Iranian nuclear weapons program.’ 2017-2021.state.gov/2017-report-on
