Trump unilaterally violated the United States commitment to the JCPOA and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 by withdrawing the United States from the agreement on May 8, 2018; Whereas the United States unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA has undermined United States global leadership and isolated the United States from its allies, leading allies and any future negotiating partners to question the United States commitment to international agreements; Whereas the withdrawal of the United States from the JCPOA undermines global nuclear nonproliferation efforts and jeopardizes the international community’s ability to maintain nuclear inspectors on the ground in Iran; Whereas the reimplementation of JCPOA-related secondary sanctions by the United States has led to the attempted creation of a vehicle to circumvent United States sanctions, which undermines the influence of the United States in the global financial system and the United States global sanctions architecture; Whereas since withdrawing from the JCPOA, tensions with Iran have increased, and the Trump administration has failed to communicate or implement a viable and coordinated strategy to curb Iranian activities at odds with the interests of the United States, greatly increasing the risk of a direct military confrontation
