‘A Serious Mistake’

There are few issues more important to the security of the US than the potential spread of nuclear weapons or the potential for even more destructive war in the Middle East. Today’s decision to put the JCPOA at risk is a serious mistake. My full statement: https://t.co/4oTdXESbxe

Obama calls the decision to pull out of the Iran deal "misguided" and "a serious mistake":

"Walking away from the JCPOA turns our back on America’s closest allies, and an agreement that our country’s leading diplomats, scientists, and intelligence professionals negotiated." pic.twitter.com/ItM7ZxQeOx
