Why would any nation, now, trust diplomacy? Iran agreed to curb its nuclear programme in 2015 – Trump wrecked the deal in 2018. Iran signed up to a round of talks, only to be bombed by Israel two days before. Iran agreed to negotiate with the European 3 – the US bombed them two

The rationale DHS is giving for why she can be deported is that she "chose to leave the country" when she flew over international waters to the US Virgin Islands. Such transparent bullshit. abcnews.go.com/US/newlywed-br…
