The administration asked Congress to attach new caveats

285	592459	Friday from U.S. allies that are part of the pact and with skepticism from many U.S. lawmakers, including some Republicans.	Iran	, meanwhile, responded with a threat of its own, vowing in a statement to walk away if Iranian "rights and interests

285	592535	if Congress is unwilling, Trump said he could back away on his own. "As I have said many times, the	Iran	deal was one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into," Trump said
285	592578	that Tehran is "not living up to the spirit of the deal." Prized by key allies U.S. officials acknowledge that	Iran	is meeting its technical obligations but accuse the Islamic republic of using the deal as a shield for an expansion

285	807245	Greg Miller in Washington contributed to this report. President Donald Trump said Friday that he would not certify the 2015	Iran	nuclear deal that is a legacy of his predecessor, and asked Congress to figure out ways to address his concerns
285	807328	countries that signed it require their heads of state to do so, as U.S. law does. When Congress passed the	Iran	Nuclear Agreement Review Act (INARA) in 2015, the idea was that the president would notify Congress if Iran was cheating
285	807346	passed the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act (INARA) in 2015, the idea was that the president would notify Congress if	Iran	was cheating so Congress would have a brief, 60-day window to "snap back" U.S. sanctions. Certification wasn't envisioned as
285	807391	president to undermine the deal or use it as a tool to reopen negotiations. But INARA isn't just about whether	Iran	is meeting its obligations. It requires the president determine whether the suspended sanctions are "appropriate and proportionate," and in the
285	807519	is not asking Congress to do that. Instead, he's asking them to amend INARA to impose new U.S. requirements on	Iran	. However, Iran would view that a one-sided renegotiation of the agreement's terms, and is unlikely to accept it. So

285	807562	fall to a Joint Commission of the seven signatories to determine whether the United States was violating the deal. If	Iran	decided to resume its nuclear program in response, the United Nations Security Council would get involved to decide whether to

285	807645	twice before, in effect admitting that the deal he lambasted on the campaign trail is working. Q. So is the	Iran	deal safe? A. Far from it. The administration wants Congress to set new conditions that address Iran's support for militias

285	807730	expire years in the future. Merely passing the provisions may not alter the deal until sanctions are actually imposed. But	Iran	would probably argue that the U.S. is indeed changing the deal's terms, by promising sanctions for activity that the deal

285	855523	approach: wreaking havoc. Trump's back-to-back body blows against President Barack Obama's health care law and nuclear agreement with	Iran	demonstrated the president's embrace of turmoil as strategy. In both cases, he plunged a pair of policies with broad domestic

285	870312	against what he has called a "very bad deal" and an "embarrassment" to the country despite all available evidence that	Iran	is complying with terms which imposed limits on its nuclear program in return for a lifting of sanctions that had
285	870408	the agreement. While the administration is not expected to push Congress to go that far, since it would likely cause	Iran	to immediately walk away, proponents of the nuclear deal fear that Trump's decision will strike a severe blow at the
285	870437	deal fear that Trump's decision will strike a severe blow at the deal's legitimacy. A significant stiffened US policy toward	Iran	designed to tackle what the White House says are Tehran's destabilizing activities and support for terrorism could return the enemies
285	870539	who helped negotiate the agreement, said on CNN's "New Day." "If we went all the way and reimposed sanctions while	Iran	is in compliance ... this would be a slippery slope towards a bad outcome, something very much not in our national
285	870594	decision, and the fact that the International Atomic Energy Agency, US allies and even the US government have said that	Iran	is in compliance with the agreement, have focused attention on Trump's motivations. Critics say Trump is recklessly risking the deal
285	870714	conservative foreign policy establishment believe that his move on Friday will force America's European allies, China and Russia and eventually	Iran	back to the table to improve the deal. The President has also complained that the 2015 deal does not allow

285	870895	the Miller & Chevalier law firm. Punting to Congress The decertification by the President is only one aspect of the new	Iran	policy he will roll out on Friday. Trump is also expected to unveil a toughened approach to respond to Iran's
285	870957	like Hezbollah and Houthi rebels in Yemen, officials have said. By punting a decision on the ultimate destiny of the	Iran	deal to Congress, Trump can also try to personally avoid blame for the consequences that would follow if he formally
285	871011	fate will be in limbo. Should Congress go ahead and decide to reimpose sanctions, it is all but certain that	Iran	would walk away. It could then likely reinstall centrifuges disengaged under deal and could race toward the development of a
285	871101	to war by the US. Alternatively, lawmakers could decide to do nothing, effectively leaving the deal untouched. In that case,	Iran	could decide that it is in its interest to remain in the agreement since it will still be reaping the

285	912206	impulse and reality, to do what the adults are advising him not to do, and to come up with an	Iran	strategy that is markedly different from what previous administrations have done. Neither the brief boilerplate in his speech about countering
285	912243	his speech about countering Iran's "destabilizing activity" and conventional weapons development nor the paper labeled as a "new strategy on	Iran	" that the White House released shortly before the speech provides such a strategy. Most of the paper could have been

285	912432	the JCPOA not to reprocess spent fuel, the heavy water does not represent a proliferation concern. Trump also asserted that	Iran	had "intimidated international inspectors," a line which evidently hinges on some Iranian rhetorical bravado about not giving foreigners the run
285	912471	the run of their country and which continues a theme pushed by Nikki Haley intended to foster the belief that	Iran	is denying inspectors access to suspect sites. Neither Trump nor Haley has provided a shred of evidence that there has

285	923313	fissile material out of the country. The other parties to the pact, our European allies, Russia, and China, also say	Iran	is complying. But Trump's decertification doesn't mean the U.S. will withdraw in the short term. He has kicked the can

285	1321893	are hyper-Sunni fanatics who have a genocidal attitude toward Shiites such as Iranians, and they even try to implicate	Iran	in 9/11, which is Alex Jones conspiracy-theory territory). And they want to sanction the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps

285	1603970	to pre-sanction levels, and trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) are trending upward. To put the increase in perspective,	Iran	secured roughly $40 billion in FDI in the last 20 years and of that amount, $8 billion has come after

285	1604279	and avert deep economic distress. This was clear in his message to the United Nations this year, when he said	Iran	was happy not to engage with the United States but that the nuclear deals fate would be at risk if

285	1743843	as Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China and the European Union, some of which have benefited economically on renewed trade with	Iran	. Responding to Trump, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on live television that Tehran was committed to the deal and accused
285	1743884	Trump of making baseless accusations. While Trump did not pull the United States out of the agreement, aimed at preventing	Iran	from developing a nuclear bomb, he gave the US Congress 60 days to decide whether to reimpose economic sanctions on
