Looks like Bolton is getting his wish now.
Iran Issues 60-Day Nuclear Ultimatum
Countries must return to old terms or agree to a new deal or Iran will begin nuclear enrichment at dangerous levels, its government warned Wednesday.

Iran on Wednesday said it will walk away from the international deal governing its development of nuclear materials and potentially nuclear weapons if it does not receive new terms for a new agreement within 60 days.
The threat regarding its stockpiles of excess enriched uranium and heavy water amounts to an ultimatum for the five countries and the European Union that remain a part of the landmark 2015 nuclear deal, brokered during the Obama administration but which President Donald Trump has taken steps to dismantle.
Unless the original signatories of the agreement are able to agree on a new arrangement that would lift new U.S. imposed sanctions on Iran's oil and banking sectors, Tehran warns it will keep its excess stockpiles of materials used in nuclear reactors and would begin producing them at higher levels – something its foes, including Israel, have said they will not allow to happen.
...............................................................................................................................................................
Will all the signatories go along with this? What if they band together against the US? Will the US REALLY impose sanctions on France, Britain, and the EU?? Add to sanctions already on Russia. Impose sanctions in China amidst trade negotiations.
Hard to predict what will happen. But if ALL these countries say NO to the US and YES to Iran, US diplomacy is effectively broken.
If they agree, it will be with great resentment. They will have to re adjust their economies and bit the bullet again--because . . . Why? Trump wanted to blow up the Iran Deal and Bolton wants war with Iran?
