Iran and Al-Qaeda cooperation continues to this day.

====Iranian nuclear deal====
:{{See also|Iranian nuclear deal}}
The Iranian nuclear deal or the [[Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action]] (JCPOA) was a failed [[diplomatic]] agreement by the Obama administration negotiated by [[John Kerry]] to help Iran get 150 billion dollars of U.S. taxpayer money and American banks. Iran then used this money for terrorism.
Then-President [[Obama]] said the joint agreement put Iran on the path of having [[nuclear weapons]] in 13 years. Obama finalized the agreement on January 21, 2016 when he signed [[Executive Order]] 13716.
The deal supposedly limited Iran's uranium enrichment, but it did not stop Iranian support of terrorist groups like the [[Muslim Brotherhood]], [[Hamas]] and [[Hezbollah]]. It also did not address Iran's expansionist ambitions in the [[Middle East]].
