CIA Director John Brennan Warns President-Elect Trump About Dangers of Scrapping Iran Nuclear Deal

John Brennan, Director of the Central intelligence Agency in the United States has issued a warning to President-elect Trump about the dangers of scrapping the Iran nuclear deal negotiated under the Obama Administration. He has called any move to dismantle the Iran Nuclear Deal as "disastrous" and "the height of folly."

In an interview the the BBC he stated: "I think it would be disastrous, it really would."

Director Brennan, according to a report in the BBC, has also warned President-Elect Trump about the dangers of what he has termed as "Russian promises."

He blames Russia for much of the suffering being experienced in Syria, saying that Moscow is a key ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

During the 2016 Presidential campaign President-elect Trump is known to have expressed his misgivings about the Iran Nuclear Deal, describing it as a "terrible" deal that only benefited Iran.

The CIA Director also gave further insight that "scrapping the agreement would risk strengthening hard-liners in Iran and risk other states pursuing nuclear programs in response to a renewed Iranian effort."

Speaking further about Syria, Director Brennan mentioned that the U.S needs to keep supporting moderate rebels who are presently engaged in battle in Syria in order to help them push back against the aggression carried out by Syria, Iran, Hizbollah, and Russia.
