WORD FORM 08

SCRAPPING THE DEAL WITH IRAN

For three years American forces have quietly worked in tandem with Iran’s

Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to roll back Islamic State in Iraq. It was as unlikely an

alliance as any imaginable. A decade ago IRGC operatives (1) _________ (orchestra) attacks

on American soldiers in Iraq. Crowds still gather in Iran to chant “Death to America!” Yet as

American planes struck from the sky, Iran managed the advance on the ground. All this

may be about to change. As The Economist went to press, President Donald Trump was

threatening to list the IRGC as a terrorist organisation and to denounce the nuclear deal

that America and five other global powers signed with Iran in 2015. This needs not destroy

the deal immediately. Congress would still have to decide whether to (2) _______ (impose)

the sanctions and (3) _______ (law), even those who opposed the deal, may not have the

appetite for doing that. Nonetheless, (4) _______ (certify) would send a signal that could

strengthen the very hardliners in Iran that America has struggled for decades to contain.

In his campaign for (5) ________ (elect) in May, Hassan Rouhani, Iran’s president,

repeatedly baited the IRGC, accusing them of denying Iran the economic fruits of the

nuclear deal that he had negotiated. The Guards argued, in turn, that Mr Rouhani should

never have trusted America. Now their warnings sound prophetic.

Theresa May, Britain’s prime minister, has urged Mr Trump to reconsider. But he has

called the deal “one of the worst and most (6) _________ (side)” that America has ever

made. He may have made up his mind.
