Well, yes to the U.S. unilaterally leaving, and yes Iran's actions in response are warranted and would indeed go 'this way' but I didn't "Swear" to anything personally, nor do I have any knowledge about any popular vote; I don't know what you mean by that at all. I surely didn't have any say in what Trump was going to do.
My original comment was just an observation of the situation based on the rhetoric coming from U.S. and Israeli officials regarding Iran's nuclear energy program over the years.
Furthermore I haven't sworn to anything, however U.S. and Israel have sworn to attack what they deem to be a threat coming from Iran's nuclear program. This has been a rather fervent and consistent line of policy coming from both nations. Mentioning this policy in a thread regarding Iran's withdrawal from the JCPOA shouldn't be taken as me 'threatening' Iran or anybody, it is just a passing comment/observation. Hopefully that clears that up.
The original intention was just to add to the conversation in a none confrontational way, besides the Iranians here on PDF know who I am and where my stance lies regarding Iran.
My own perspective is not in line with what U.S. and Israeli officials spout off, so don't try and lump me in their camp although I take it that this is just a simple case of misunderstanding. I've been quite apposed to America's gallivanting the region over and I'm most definitely not a fan of U.S. foreign policy especially Middle Eastern policy.
Lastly I really don't have to use any different words other than the words I used in my original comment, I meant what I said and I said what I meant to say. Also I didn't give any "threat" or intended my original comment to come off as threatening, it was an observation, nothing more nothing less. U.S. and Israeli almost definitely (or most definitely) can and will attack if they deem it to be just and warranted per their own goals.
Iran is ready for confrontation with both but it still bears mentioning.
What you are saying is that America knew what Iran would do if it broke the pact - and America is mad nevertheless that Iran is now going to do what was expected anyway? It's akin to some angry person throwing a glass off a table and then becoming even angrier that how dare the glass shatter.
Power has a short life. If you are not sure, study the history of mighty empires which ruled before USA and that are no more. The real power lies in principles and justice which USA is not willing to stand under - thus force and "I said so" and "I wouldn't let you get nukes" are your basis of stance against Iran. From what we see, Iranians are swearing their lives and deaths to the "justified revenge" against USA... and what are Americans swearing their lives and deaths against Iran...? "to the glory of President Trump"? "to the glory of the popular vote"? to the glory of winning next elections"? Or "to the glory of our saying that we won't let Iran have nuclear weapons because we backed out of the nuclear deal"?
Hope you have the curtesy to see how low America stands today and your power alone is insufficient to deliver results. Did you saw what happens to power in Afghanistan in 18 years where barefoot Afghans showed you who's the boss? What do you think Iranians can pull off in comparison to Afghanis in the next 18 years? Revenge doesn't have an expiry date if you were thinking it does.
