Description: Following the withdrawal of the US from the Iran Deal, the issue is once again heating up the balance of power in the Middle East. President Putin appears to frankly not be very concerned about potentially offending "Western partners" about the way they have dealt with Iran. Going back on agreements, changing the goalposts, treating each event in isolation as opposed to the chain of events that international relations are - we've seen this kind of double standard before aplenty, haven't we? (See for example, Putin's speech that references the ABM Treaty 1972 linked at the end)
