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 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. | |
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. | |
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. | |
