President Trump ripped up a pact designed to prevent Iran from building a bomb. Getting a better agreement now could prove difficult.

President Trump withdrew from the Obama-era nuclear accord in 2018, saying it was the worst deal ever. But Iran responded with an enrichment spree that haunts the negotiations to this day.

He delivered a lengthy speech at his country’s rubber-stamp Parliament, declaring that his nuclear power will shield his country from American hostility.

Attacks on Saturday injured dozens in Arad and Dimona, two cities closest to Israel’s main nuclear research facility.

In the first days of the U.S.-Israeli campaign against Iran, Mr. Trump pressed for a popular uprising against Tehran’s government.

The United States views Iran through a prism of global responsibilities and strategic goals. Israel has a more regional approach. After nearly three weeks of war, their paths are diverging.

This time, President Trump went to war without preparing the public, seeking U.N. approval or even consulting allies. But they will have to pick up the pieces.

American officials have said for years that they would prioritize the Indo-Pacific. Now they’re moving warships, missiles and air defenses out for a war in the Middle East.

The waves of bombings reveal a broad effort to ravage the country’s leadership and security services.
