Not gonna defend him. I am fine assuming Trump's higher ups explained to him that the Iran deal is a red line he can't cross. It doesn't matter to me, I am just happy that the middleastern monarchs' plans to isolate Iran don't seem to be working. Obama's ghost is still lingering there and it's hilarious to watch.

I don't really get all the conspiracies about shiites and sunnites and Saudis. From my point of view Iran managed quite well to isolate itself by having extreme fundamentalists at their top.

as opposed to... the Saudis? the main exporter of wahhabism?

I do agree that It's never truly about religion, that's just what the monarchs feed their people. I don't know the real reasons behind Obama's pivot towards Iran as well, but it will be interesting to watch.
