The US, for example, is currently embroiled in an active nuclear dispute with North Korea, and cancelling the nuclear agreement with Iran will only cause trouble on another front and increase China and Russia’s extortion abilities towards the US.

An American demand to withdraw from the nuclear agreement with Iran might also split the United Nations Security Council." Ron Ben-Yishal
