"There were others, including lots of prominent Republicans who begged Trump not to withdraw from the agreement, which was largely being followed by Iran. Other Republicans were trying to sell the “We can negotiate a better one”, which like their plan to “repeal and replace” Obamacare came to nothing"

It should also be noted that Israeli intelligence services were generally supportive of the agreement as a means to prevent Iran from getting nukes. However the intelligence services were overrode by Israeli political leadership (meaning Netanyahu) who saw the agreement as a barrier to their decades long dream of outright war with Iran.

Netanyahu found a friend in Trump who pulled out of the agreement with Iran without a plan for a replacement and then Netanyahu got what he always wanted: outright war with Iran.

Trump's ineptness has literally caused a shooting war in the Middle East.
