Donald Trump to approve Iran nuclear deal for last time – if it isn't changed Donald Trump to approve Iran nuclear deal for last time – if it isn't changed
(35 minutes later)
Despite his hatred of the Iran nuclear deal, President Donald Trump has again stopped short of reimposing sanctions on Iran that could cancel the accord - instead choosing to try to work with European allies to come up another agreement. Despite his hatred of the Iran nuclear deal, President Donald Trump has left the accord intact - but has given European allies 120 days to agree to a new deal or the US will pull out, administration officials have said. 
Mr Trump wants the Iran deal strengthened with a follow-on agreement in 120 days or the US will withdraw, a senior administration official said.  In his decision not to immediately terminate the agreement, Mr Trump is also waiving nuclear sanctions against Iran for the last time, the officials said. 
More follows... The action is the third time Mr Trump has given a reprieve to the agreement brokered by the Obama administration, despite having called it “one of the worst” agreements the US has ever entered into.
In the wake of anti-government protests in Iran, the Trump administration is also imposing targeted sanctions against several government officials for human rights abuses. 
The US will sanction 14 individuals and entities for human rights abuses, censorship in Iran and for providing support to Iranian weapons proliferators.
