In the three weeks since Donald Trump declared that a \u201cdeal\u201d between the United States and Iran was \u201ccomplete,\u201d the president and his team have been dogged by a series of difficult questions. Why does Iran have to make so few concessions under the memorandum of understanding? Why have prominent members of both parties slammed the agreement as inadequate? Why is Trump\u2019s deal so much worse than the Obama-era Iran deal?<\/p>\n

Now, however, the world is confronting a qualitatively different kind of question: Does Trump\u2019s deal still exist?<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, U.S. Central Command announced a new round of strikes against Iran, following reports of attacks on merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The Trump administration simultaneously said it was reinstating sanctions on Tehran, which had been eased as part of last month\u2019s MOU.<\/p>\n

Soon after, Iran\u2019s military said it had fired missiles and drones targeting U.S. military installations in Bahrain and Kuwait in retaliation for the strikes confirmed by CENTCOM hours earlier.<\/p>\n

As for the tenuous ceasefire and peace process, it\u2019s increasingly difficult to be optimistic. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday from the NATO summit in Turkey, Trump called Iranians \u201cscum\u201d and \u201cevil people.\u201d He added, \u201cFrankly, we\u2019ve wasted a lot of time with them. I think we should just do our business.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Republican didn\u2019t elaborate as to what that \u201cbusiness\u201d entails, but in context, he appeared to be referring to additional military strikes.<\/p>\n

And then he kept going.<\/p>\n

Asked specifically whether the ceasefire is over and the peace framework is dead, the American president told reporters, \u201cTo me, I think it\u2019s over. I don\u2019t want to deal with them anymore. They\u2019re scum. \u2026 They\u2019re led by sick people, and they\u2019re vicious, violent people. \u2026 As far as I\u2019m concerned, it\u2019s over. \u2026 As far as I\u2019m concerned, it\u2019s just a waste of time dealing with them. \u2026 They\u2019re liars. \u2026 There\u2019s something wrong with them. They\u2019re cuckoo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Right on cue, oil prices jumped and stock market indexes started falling. There\u2019s no great mystery as to why: If the ceasefire is over and the peace framework is dead, then we\u2019re right back to where we were when the hot war was still underway.<\/p>\n

The trouble, however, is that Trump is erratic and easily confused. It\u2019s effectively impossible to know whether he\u2019ll take the opposite position at any given moment, opening the door to new diplomatic talks or making matters vastly worse.<\/p>\n
