In case you were wondering, General Mattis, contrary to Marxist Media reporting, is supportive of the rejection of the Iranian Deal

Mattis told lawmakers that President Trump did not make his decision in haste, suggesting that the administration is working on an alternative effort to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapon capabilities.
Secretary Mattis explained:

It wasn’t a hasty decision. The administration has been in place for over a year and for over a year we’ve attempted to work with allies to address the shortcomings on it. So, I think we now have the opportunity to move forward to address those shortcomings and make it more compelling. That effort is underway already.

The Pentagon chief assured the Senate panel that the Trump administration would continue working with U.S. allies to prevent Iran from obtaining an atomic bomb post-America’s withdrawal from the agreement.
Non-U.S. signatories to the agreement have suggested that they intend to remain committed to the deal even after Trump’s decision.

Referring to the president’s decision to pull out from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the pact’s official name, Mattis told Senators:

I believe what’s happened is the president could not affirm as required that this agreement was being lived up to and in the best interests in all aspects of what was supposed to be happening under the JCPOA…We have walked away from the JCPOA because we found it was inadequate for the long-term effort [against Iran]. This was something that was probably noted by the Senate several years ago when the Senate did not endorse it as a treaty. So we will work with our allies and try to bring Iran back into more responsible behavior.
