Alan Woods - editor of In Defence of Marxism - discusses Trump's decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal and reintroduce sanctions.

In taking this step, the US President is throwing a lit match onto an already highly-flammable situation.

In the process, Trump has stomped on the interests of the Europeans and instead allied himself to the most reactionary regimes in the region: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Far from bringing stability or security to the people of Iran and the wider Middle East, Trump's actions will only add fuel to the fire.
