President Donald Trump will declare the Iranian regime in violation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the 2015 deal aimed at reining in Iran’s nuclear program, multiple sources in Washington say, potentially putting the Trump administration on a collision course with Tehran.
On Wednesday, The Washington Free Beaconreported that President Trump is expected to declare Iran in breach of the deal on October 15th, despite pressure by some top administration officials – including Secretary of Defense James Mattis and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson – to certify Iran as being in compliance with the terms of the agreement.
By law, the president must report to Congress on Iran’s compliance with the JCPOA every 90 days.
Failure to recertify Iranian compliance would lead to the resumption of some US sanctions on the Tehran regime, and potentially force an end to the deal itself. Removal of those sanctions targeting Iran’s nuclear program was a key condition for securing Iranian agreement to the JCPOA.
President Trump has thus far recertified Iran twice, but according to sources in Washington, is now expected to declare Iran in violation of the deal.
According to Israel’s Channel 2, Trump will not withdraw from the JCPOA, but will declare that Tehran has failed to comply with the terms of the deal, and will announce new sanctions on the Iranian regime.
Democratic lawmakers have strongly opposed such a move, with 180 congressional Democrats signing a joint letter to the president calling on him to certify Iranian compliance.
