He violated the peace plan by pulling out. He then put sanctions on Iran that are seriously hurting them economically. Iran has responded that it will be forced to take actions.

The drawback for Trump going to war with Iran, it could devastate the world economy, gasoline and natural gas prices will soar. Trump will do what he thinks will help to reelect him.
