Jason Rezaian: Three things the U.S. stands to lose if it ditches the Iran deal

It looks increasingly likely that President Donald Trump will pull the United States out of the Iran nuclear deal on May 12, as he has threatened to do since he was a candidate. I have yet to hear an argument about any clear benefit that would be gained from abandoning an international agreement that, by all measures, Iran is living up to.

Three things the United States stands to potentially lose, though, are easier to explain and must be considered before the decision is made.

To be very clear, there are no new arguments to support the crisis being manufactured by the deal’s opponents.
