US President Donald Trump will not be elected to a second term in office if he withdraws from the Iran nuclear agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), says a political analyst in California.

“If Donald Trump abandons the JCPOA for example, he will most likely be a one-term president; if he initiates an actual conflict with North Korea he will also be a one-term president,” said Scott Bennett, a former US Army psychological warfare officer.

Trump is reportedly planning to announce next week that he will “decertify” the international nuclear agreement with Iran.

Trump plans to declare that the nuclear deal is not in the national interest of the United States and kick the issue to a reluctant Congress, The Washington Post reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the White House strategy.

Bennett also said US and Israeli spy agencies, such as the CIA and Mossad, as well as elements within the so-called deep state, may trigger a false flag nuclear attack inside the United States to justify launching more conflicts around the world.

“It’s a very real concern that the deep state, the CIA, the Mossad and other elements may in fact try to launch a nuclear self-attack, false flag accident or explosion to try and justify another war,” Bennett told Press TV on Friday.

“As we know, war is America’s number one product and service that it gives to the world.”

The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) has said that Trump's presidency has put a "spotlight" on the risks of nuclear weapons and "now" is the time to scrap the weapons of mass destruction.

"The election of President Donald Trump has made a lot of people feel very uncomfortable with the fact that he alone can authorize the use of nuclear weapons," Beatrice Fihn, head of ICAN, told reporters in Geneva on Friday.
