5 - 1 = 4 (none / 0)

Since leaving the UN General Assembly audibly gasping at the audacity of his "rocket man" declaration, Mr Trump has withdrawn US membership in UNESCO and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the "Iran Deal". Concerted effort to resist or obey orders of the hegemon have yet to materialize.

"It is a deal that prevented a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, next to us. That brought security in the region and to young people in the country. That was the European way and it was thanks to us because we were the mediator," she said.

US allies will also be "encouraged" to reach what for all practical purposes is a non-denial denial renegotiation. This can be easily interpreted as unilateral extorsion. It's not gonna happen - as the EU, Russia and China have made abundantly clear. Washington then will be de facto pulling out of the JCPOA. Or, in Trump's words, following the advice of the spectacular incompetent rabid neocon US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, the deal "will be terminated".

IRGC commander Mohammad Ali Jafari - usually a cordial, soft-spoken man but tough as nails, with combat experience in the Iran-Iraq war - has made it very clear; "If the news is correct about the stupidity of the American government in considering the Revolutionary Guards a terrorist group, then the Revolutionary Guards will consider the American army to be like Islamic State [ISIS] all around the world."

Trump is truly ripping the imperial sieves "a new one."
China, Russia, US, EU{France, Germany} plus "Britain"

"It seems that some have deliberately created a fake atmosphere in order to ignore such a legal process and block the path to assessing the (nuclear) conclusion in a timely and detailed manner and placing it in a legal path in compliance with the Iranian nation's interests," [AlJafari] said.
