For US, JCPOA is DOA. What Now?

Within hours of President Trump’s announcement that he was pulling out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iranian President Hassan Rouhani blasted the move and insisted that Iran would continue to negotiate with the other signatories.  The U.K., France and Germany expressed disappointment in President Trump’s decision and said the deal is not dead.  Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister told CNN that Saudi Arabia will seek a nuclear bomb if Iran does. 

Cipher Brief CEO & Publisher Suzanne Kelly talked with the former National Intelligence Manager for Iran for the ODNI, Norm Roule, and asked him what the decision will mean in the region and what response the U.S. should anticipate.
