President Donald Trump warned Iran is “FINISHED” and would “get no money” out of the newly signed deal with the U.S. after the two sides cancelled a meeting set for Friday in Switzerland—as the agreement appears fragile less than 48 hours after it was signed.

Trump said “we’ll play out the 60 days. They get no money, not ten cents!” referring to the 60-day period after the agreement was signed overnight Wednesday to negotiate outstanding issues, including the future of Iran’s nuclear program.

The deal included a commitment from the U.S. to lift sanctions on Iran and unfreeze Iranian assets in foreign accounts in the final agreement, to be made within 60 days.

Iran and the U.S. cancelled the first meeting of the second round of negotiations without explanation, though the White House suggested the delay was due to “logistics.”

Three unnamed diplomats told The New York Times Iran backed out because of Israel’s continued attacks on Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.

Israel and Hezbollah reached a ceasefire agreement Friday morning after Israeli airstrikes killed at least 47 people in Lebanon since midnight, Reuters reported, citing the Lebanese health ministry, while Israel said four of its soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon.

The deal between the U.S. and Iran required military hostilities between both sides and their allies to cease on all fronts, including Lebanon, though Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made clear his country was not involved in the agreement and is not required to adhere to its terms.

1. What's the pecking order? Phootie - NuttyYahoo - AIPAC - TrumpenFuhrer?

Who is the puppeteer??

2. I have a solution:

Ttrump should bomb Israel, not Iran, b/c Israeli is purposely interfering with the resolution of the war”.

5. I don't think bombing Israel is a good idea, but ....

... but maybe we stop arming them? When they can no longer stop incoming missiles, maybe they'll stop the belligerence.

3. Reminder: he has no plan, he has no strategy, there is only reacting to headlines.

He got an announcement of a deal on his birthday, and he got a photo op of him signing his name like a big boy in a palace with lots of gilded crap and mirrors in it. That was the extent of his motivation and interest, that exhausted his nearly nonexistent message-discipline. Now it is back to flailing around day to day in fickle headline reaction mode, and his minions making daily policy swings to match.

6. I suspect the agreement is still on...

and you’re right, Trump is spewing his tough guy shit because the headlines have not been kind and the stunned worldwide reaction to delusional Donnie’s catastrophic performance at the G7 summit consumed the internet..

4. So Trump Signed an Agreement

That he knew he couldn’t keep (see Netanyahu) and he blames Iran? So very Trump.

7. Netanyahu's Israel is using the USA entanglement with Iran as cover

for peeling off southern Lebanon.

Israel continues hot and simmering assaults on its neighbors.

Israel is more likely to use a nuke if the USA cut off funding and arms.

Probably there are parties already keeping Trump from nuking Iran.

Israel is such a great ally.
