Five years ago on this day, the former President Donald Trump followed through on the campaign promise of withdrawing from the flawed Obama-Biden era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Iran, more commonly known as  the Iran Nuclear Deal. The Jewish and Pro-Israel community remembers this day well, as it was a significant step toward protecting America’s Middle East allies and, indeed, the world from the danger of a nuclear armed Iran.

In withdrawing from the JCPOA, the United States sent a strong message to the Mullahs in Tehran and their allies in Beijing and Moscow that the United States of America was putting its national security — and that of its strong allies — ahead of fallacious hopes that Tehran would choose a reasonable path.

It sent a message that the United States would no longer sit on the sidelines as Tehran sent billions of dollars every year to their terrorist proxies around the world who have the blood of Americans, Israelis, and many others on its hands.
