> I expect you to be cheering when Iran assassinates Trump for reneging

Trump pulled a lever that was explicitly listed and offered in the treaty. It was not "reneging" on the deal any more than using a backout clause is reneging on a home purchase. Yes, it is rarely used, and yes, you may piss off the counter party who was really hoping for their payday, but the fact remains that the possibility is explicitly listed in the contract.




Assassinating Soleimani was definitely not explicitly listed on any treaty.
