But it is very hard to see Iran accept a more restrictive agreement, That the restrictions on its missile programs, and also, perhaps, its regional behavior.

And just as it is hard to see President Trump the lifting of sanctions in the works - not least when he believes - with protests against The Regime -That its maximum print campaign. to invoke
