President Donald Trump is set to announce Friday afternoon that he will not certify the controversial Iran nuclear deal. However, he also won’t unravel or rewrite it. Instead, Trump reportedly wants Congress to establish “trigger points” that could prompt the U.S. to reimpose sanctions on Iran.
Some of those trigger points could include “continued ballistic missile launches by Iran, a refusal to extend the duration of constraints on its nuclear fuel production, or a conclusion by the United States’ intelligence agencies that Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in less than a year.”
However, Congress is deeply divided on the Iran deal, and it’s entirely possible that they won’t be able to come to an agreement. Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) plan to introduce a proposal that will address flaws in the deal, but it’s unlikely to gain the support of Democrats, who largely want to keep the Iran nuclear deal as-is.
Trump’s announced intention to decertify the Iran nuclear agreement would achieve nothing other than isolating the US.

Experts agree: the #IranDeal remains the best way to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. https://t.co/XxEwcN6L10

And getting Congress to agree on a renegotiation isn’t even the hardest challenge facing Trump. He’ll also have to convince Russia, China, Britain, France, and Germany to agree to renegotiation, too.
As for Iran, it has completely rejected the notion of changing the current deal or renegotiating a new one. In response to questions of extending the restrictions on producing nuclear fuel beyond 15 years, Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s foreign minister, said last month, “Are you prepared to return to us 10 tons of enriched uranium?”
This is a tricky situation, to be sure. However, it’s important that Trump doesn’t back down. Contrary to liberal rhetoric, the Iran nuclear deal does nothing to effectively prevent Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.

Trump’s right: the Iran nuclear deal is an embarrassment and a disaster, and the sooner Congress can fix it, the better.
Share this breaking news with others now!
If the U.S. backs out of the Iran deal, I’m sure many of the other’s will follow suit. Let’s face it. Obama illegally gave the Iranians a huge amount of U.S. taxpayer money to bribe them to not pursue their nuclear ambitions, so they took the Obama bribe “CASH”, and continued anyway. No surprise there! Not hammering Iran would be a broken promise to Israel, the American people and to the world. Sign the order Donald, let the chips fall where they may. Oh, and the heck with Corker, he’s a Progressive Commie!
In answer to the question, Mohammad Javad Zarif, asked last month, “Are you prepared to return to us 10 tons of enriched uranium?”: Yes. Delivery will be by B2.
Sanders and Pelosi are only in Government to hurt the USA and help enemies like Iran, because they like Obama got millions of dollars from them. Follow the money and these two are real Traitors.
Forget leaving it up to do-nothing congress, it won’t happen.
“Experts agree: the #IranDeal remains the best way to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.” Nutty Nancy can no longer remember what the IranDeal points were, but she trusts both Barry’s cabal and the Iranians implicitly…
What deal, what treaty, nothing was ever signed
Cool! Keep the pressure on Iran until they understand that they NEED a nuclear arsenal to defend themselves and their sovereign interests at ALL costs (just like we did in Cuba and have in North Korea. “Sanctions” have NO EFFECT on the leadreship that makes the decisios. Only the common citizens suffer – and they tend to understand and sympathize with their leadership’s position. (As for missile testing: WE do it anytime we want to – don’t we? And Trump wants to enlarge OUR nuclear arsenal 10x – een tho it is already big enough to wipe out life on the planet 3 times over.) This all began when we furnished Israel a nuclear program “under the table” – demonstrating to the world what a hypocritical, war-mongering nation we have become. Best we can do with this situation is to ignore it and concentrate on establishing NORMAL economic, military, and political relations with Iran AND STOP BULLYING THEM.
Iran is the leading sponsor of terrorism in the world and has sworn many a blood oath to eliminate both Israel and the U.S. from planet earth, any pressure we put on them is irrelevant. Quit believing the liberal media which lies on everything they can to make Trump look bad including the lie that he wants to increase our nuclear arsenal. The idea that “normal” relations with a nation that screams “Death to America!!” constantly is possible is a liberal pipe dream of epic delusion. Don’t be daft
President Trump is trying to allow the legislative process to work and give the
low life republicans time to grow a pair and for once in the last 25 years to stand
up to defend the United States instead of kowtowing to the liberal idiots on the
left. obama, kerry and clinton all knew this was a bad deal, that’s why they chose
not to put to a legislative test & obama used his “pen” & pin head. this not a
standard treaty and does not require the United States to abide by the language
in it. President Trump will give the swamp dwellers on both sides time to act and
then he will take action. the democrats are learning that you live by the sword, you
die by the sword. the liberal chickens are coming home to rest. godd… them, as
reverend wright would put it.
Whether the deal is legal or not is beside the point and I suspect that Obama administration did not want to get into a fighting war with Iran. The International Atomic Energy Agency the UN’s nuclear watchdog has reported that Iran is staying within the main limits set down in a 2015 multilateral agreement that Donald Trump has insisted Tehran is violating.So clearly Trump is jumping the gun and I suspect his gang is planning another war and you can bet it won’t be just with Iran.
bulls..t. you are full of it. explain the plane loads of money obama sent along
to tehran to seal the deal. you can’t. there should be a special prosecutor to
find out where the money came from and who received it in iran, probably
valerie jarrets family and right back into obama’s offshore account.
However, the $400 million dollar transfer was actually an openly announced one, paid in settlement of a nearly 40-year dispute between Iran and the United States — a settlement that likely saved the United States several billion dollars.
Back in late 1979, after Iranian revolutionaries took 52 Americans hostage at the US Embassy in Tehran, the United States severed diplomatic relations with Iran and froze Iranian assets in America. Among those frozen assets was a $400 million delivery of fighter jets from the U.S. that Iran’s previous government had already paid for.
your post is a lie. it was not openly announced. it was delivered in the middle of the
night and just happened to be discovered by a western news crew. no way did
obama, kerry or anyone in his slime pit intend to reveal this. the so-called frozen
funds story was thrown in after the transfer was discovered. facts are so inconvenient
to liberals.
Wrong.
Read the details of the Bush-CIA/MOSSAD treason against Americans and president Jimmy Carter from a MOSSAD agent who assisted with the Bush/CIA treason. It was called “The October Surprise of 1980”, pp 70-75, “Profits of War Inside the Secret U.S.-Israeli Arms Network”, Ari Ben-Menashe, 1992. More details of the Bush/CIA subterfuge are found elsewhere in the semi-autobiography.
In January 2016, the Obama administration successfully negotiated the release of four Americans who had been imprisoned in Iran in exchange for the release of seven Iranians who had been imprisoned in the United States.(A fifth American prisoner was released separately.) At around the same time, the U.S. airlifted the equivalent of USD $400 million in various currencies to Tehran. The $400 million dollar transfer was actually an openly announced one 3 months before. Claims the U.S. had offered a “ransom payment” began to circulate due to spin from some Iranian officials. The fact that the money was physically sent to Iran in various currencies rather than simply transferred by wire may seem odd in the context of the United States’ increasingly cashless society, but that was done in order to avoid existing Treasury Department sanctions that banned the use of American currency in transactions with Iran, and international sanctions which at that time kept Iran from accessing the global financial markets (and which were lifted in January 2016).
Clearly the U.S. government have lost its fn marbles if they cancel the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action agreement that was signed by the U.S. ,China , Russia,United Kingdom and Germany. To do this will force most of the nations in the world to discount any agreements in the future that the U.S. government would put forth.In OTHER WORDS in the future no nation will ever put their trust in the U.S government.
this is not a formal binding treaty, moron.
Nor is it a piece of toilet paper !
It is a binding, international agreement, which makes good sense, which is why the leadership of “Israel” want to break the agreement.
It only makes sense if your goal is that of Iran’s which is to eliminate Israel and the U.S. from the planet. There are no consequences in the agreement for Iran if they break the agreement. The deal makes no sense unless you wish to help sponsor terrorism as Iran is the world’s biggest sponsor of terrorism. Don’t be daft.
Former CIA station manager, John Stockwell´s video of the terrorism of the CIA, 1950-1980, indicates that the US CIA is a major, international source of terrorism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1_3ayrwkc4
Former CIA and FBI members have revealed that the CIA+FBI are the source of most “false flags” and terrorism in the USA, such as the Las Vegas massacre event, in which the MOSSAD sometimes assists.
Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and fanatical about the elimination of both Israel and the U.S. from the surface of the planet yet BO set them up to have nukes. There are literally no consequences in this “deal” if Iran doesn’t follow it. They simply have to file some paperwork and they already have all the money we had for leverage. Saying this “deal” is not in the best interests of America is a vast understatement. The rest of the world understands this it is only left wing liberals that don’t. Democrat politicians even know this, they just like islamic oil money more than they care about America.
A few more pallets of small change in the middle of the night should bring Iran around……………….
The Iran deal was never LEGAL ! The Iran deal is essentially a treaty that must go though the US Congress ! No sitting US President can enter into a treaty with another country without US Congress involvement . The fraud and usurper barack hussein obama ignored US Constitutional law !
The Democrat\s and establishment Republicans (e.g. Corker, McCain, McConnel et.al.) , both comprising the SWAMP, are largely responsible for this disaster Obama and the ineffective John Kerry “negotiated.” The solution is to drain the swamp, replace the incumbent SWAMP members on both sides, and start over. Meanwhile, Iran has been continuing its nuclear program, ballistic missile program, and support of terrorism, so what do we lose? Europe is turning into an progressive swamp all by itself, and is not a defender of freedom even on its own shores.
So when does Trump start putting AMERICA First?! Get the Fifth Columnist Son in Law & Daughter out of Our government and work for us GOYIM for a change ……
America, the “MASTERBLASTER” from the movie “Thunderdome” a giant moron ridden on and directed by Twisted Jewish Dwarves ……..
Isn’t Russia the proud owner of OUR resources now that relate to this? Thanks to “Oh, with a cloth” Hillary?
Yes. But, that´s only a small piece of the larger puzzle, many pieces of which are controlled by the leadership of “Israel”. “Israel”, which deftauded in 1962 with the agreed-on inspection that president Kennedy arranged, and which had nukes that would reach Russia since the late 1970s, and is permitted to continue to decline to participate in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections and which is the tail that has wagged the Pentagon dog. Take the “7 countries in 5 years plan” for example, and the continued support of subterfuge against Syria.
Pelosi “experts agree” yeah the experts are her and her cronies that got us in this mess – just like the mess they are leaving California stuck with.
Bernie Sanders : “Trump’s announced intention to decertify the Iran nuclear agreement would achieve nothing other than isolating the US” Bernie Bernie Bernie most of the world already hates us and has for years about as many years as people like you and Pelosi have been in politics.
Have to wonder why that Corker guy ever decided we should upend this?
“The President… shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur….”
ARTICLE II, SECTION 2, CLAUSE 2
It doesn’t say anything at all about “sign any treaty you want until enough people in congress object”
Sure what it looks like they did, even without the media politbureau interpreting it and spewing on TV…
