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.

“He’s still under the influence of Ivanka, Jared, Mattis and Kelly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Could you explain what you mean by that ?
That is the major take away from this.
I think not, with all due respects. And McMaster is also not evil. The idea that Kelly and McMaster are undermining Trump and against his plans was invented by the Fake Media which includes fools like Cernovich and Posobiec. Invented to try to weaken President Trump’s support and make him look like a weak fool who is surrounded by Bad People who control him.
There is no actual evidence of any kind that the President Trump is under the thumb of the Kushners or that their ideas or agendas influence his policy decisions, nor the idea that McMaster and Kelly are destroying or harming Trump’s administration.
I humbly urge anyone who is worried about the above to visit Thomas Wictor’s twitters and read up. He writes threads that are numbered and easy to read in proper sequence by clicking on a numbered comment.
Never forget that Russia and China helped negotiate this terrible deal.
Our local Putinists have never had a problem with Russia being in bed with Death to America Iran. I don’t think that will change.
Pretty sure that was sarcasm.
Yes, it was erogenous,.......................
Pres. William J. Clinton

“Today, after 16 months of intense and difficult negotiations with North Korea, we have completed an agreement that will make the United States, the Korean Peninsula, and the world safer. Under the agreement, North Korea has agreed to freeze its existing nuclear program and to accept international inspection of all existing facilities.”
Another peace in our time moron. Trump isn’t repeating this mistake.
This might be why Corker chose not to run again. He’ll be in the middle of this mud bath debate for the next two months. He’d rather service his corporate donors than patriotically represent his state. Shilling for them on Iran right before primary season would have caused him big difficulties.
Well that’s when dad was still around.
It must have hit your erroneous zone.....................
Then MM should have used the sarcasm ‘sign’.....
It’s hard to tell anymore

Well no, the decertification was required by the law congress passed.
Trump is merely following the existing law
Seriously. They are making it that Kushner was the brains behind the elections. I have read testimonies that it was Kushner who told Trump to “tone down the build the wall rhetoric” during the campaign and it was Lewanowski and Bannon who said “yeah, keep saying that”.
Trump makes the decisions and that’s why he’s prez. He does listen to his staff due to his business acumen but he does the decisions.
Now if we could only get a refund of all those pallets of cash (totaling $1.7 BILLION) that Schmuckbama sent them to build weapons. I still have a hard time fathoming why he did that.
Good for the US and Trump! Global leadership by adults is growing!
Yep. And more than a few in that crowd have had no problem with the Iran deal.
Exactly.
1) McMaster and Mattis have proven themselves trustworthy in terms of readjusting our foreign policy. Let’s look at NATO for example: with the increased pressure coming from us -> European countries are finally donating their fair share (2% of GDP) — which they had disgracefully avoided doing in the past.
The Trump admin has also done so far done a good job of navigating the nuanced landscape of two-faced nations like Russia.
2) Just because Secretary Tillerson and Trump disagree at times does not mean that is a bad thing! It’s healthy! There are other areas of the world where Tillerson’s expertise as a former Exxon oil chief prove to be indispensable.
3) Let’s not forget that Trump ultimately owns his final say and the cabinet plus Jared and Ivanka recognize that.
4) You know who has surprised me most? John Kelly. I urge anyone with doubts to watch the impressive press conference he gave yesterday (or was it Wednesday?) - wow. He was so adept and poised at handling the questions from the media and 100% BEHIND TRUMP THE WHOLE TIME. The press was at a loss for words. No wonder Trump keeps him around...and very close by at that!
5) Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka played their part at the right time — and now they are better off contributing to the President’s agenda from the outside...
6) On that note, more and more things continue to unravel about the lesser, more unpleasant dimensions to Bannon’s personality, character, and past. (Including having done business with Weinstein in Hollywood in the past...)
Just because Bannon has good ideology on paper does not mean he is a helpful presence in the White House at this point in the game.
7) What I don’t understand is the handing of the Iran deal to Congress. What does that mean?!
