President Trump said Friday he’s decertifying the Iranian nuclear deal forged under the Obama administration, but stopped short of ending the international agreement, instead giving Congress 60 days to take a tougher approach toward Tehran’s lawless behavior.
“We will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence, more terror and the very real threat of Iran’s nuclear breakout,” Mr. Trump said. “Iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal.”
In an address from the White House, the president also said he’s directing the Treasury Department to sanction Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps over its support of terrorism in the Middle East, calling it a “long overdue step.”
“History has shown the longer we ignore a threat, the more dangerous that threat becomes,” the president said.
Mr. Trump, who has called the 2015 agreement signed by President Obama a “horrible” deal and threatened to rip it up, instead decided reluctantly to try to beef up the restrictions on Tehran by going to Congress.

Trump said that if Congress does nothing, then he will abrogate the deal.
And who’s job is that? Corker, I believe, since he is chairman of the Senate committee that handles this stuff. Popcorn time. LOL.
Amen, he’s putting them on the spot and it’s beautiful.
Here here! I agree with all you said, and I admit I had my doubts about Kelly, but I have just learned to trust Trump. He is good judge of character. :)
RINOs are going to have an approval rating of -15 by 2018
No apologies necessary. I put lots of exclamation points which I thought would make it sarcastic. Oh, well!!!!!!!!!!
That should have given me a big hearty clue.
My heart is misbehaving the last couple of days and I’m not feeling well, that’s my current excuse for being foolish....
Maybe, but we’ll have to endure a week of national mourning and non-stop coverage of his funeral, as if he was a head of state.
That’s okay, it will be party time on FR and across the nation! Happy dances, celebrations and the more the slimedia and slime-elites cry fake tears, they happier we’ll be.
Have you heard Trump’s speech yet? I want to hear it.
The Iran nuclear deal was something the New World Order business elites wanted so they could lift sanctions and trade with Iran.
Its a pro-Israel pro-Neocon move, but powerful people are offended.
Rush Limbaugh pointed out that the “Corker Amendment” of the now departing Senator Bob Corker was to enable lifting of sanctions so business could be done with Iran.
El Rushbo cited Boeing. Another company benefitting was Airbus.
Between those two companies 180 airliners are on order from Iran.
Will deals like those fall through now?
Take care of yourself.
What I need to do is stop reading news, and start doing yoga daily....
Good news! What about SA? Is he savey enough to re-deal them into a realistic perspective...
Corker will do anything to preserve the deal. The RINOs and Dems will come up with the “solution.”
Yes. Google it.
I predict I will like how the congress men and women will bend over backwards to keep the Iran deal and yet on healthcare and taxes ... geez just can’t be bothered to do anything.
Thanks, here it is, several popped up.

Two words: Offshore Accounts
Pretty sure she was being sarcastic
Break the Mullahs and let Iran rejoin the civilized world, as should have happened in 2009.
