President Trump to Push Iran into Abandoning Nuclear Deal

President Donald Trump has signaled that he might declare Iran non-compliant by mid-October, the next time he is required to sign a three-monthly certification of the nuclear deal. Under a law passed by Congress, the State Department must notify lawmakers every 90 days of Iran’s compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Program of Action, or JCPOA nuclear deal. “I think they’ll be noncompliant,” Trump told The Wall Street Journal in August. Failure to issue the certification triggers a process that allows Congress to re-impose on an expedited schedule sanctions waived under the nuclear accord.
