Trump decertifies Iran nuclear deal, imposes 'tough sanctions' on Revolutionary Guard Corps

US President Donald Trump has announced that his administration will not certify Iran’s compliance with the nuclear agreement and deferred it to Congress to establish new conditions on the deal. He also announced new US sanctions against Tehran.

“I am announcing today that we cannot and will not make this certification,” Trump stated Friday.

“Iran committed multiple violations of the agreement,” the president said, despite the International Atomic Energy Agency’s confirmation that Tehran is in compliance with the deal.

He said he expects Congress to come up with legislation that will amend the nuclear deal and “strengthen enforcement,”as well as include Iran’s ballistic missile program, and remove the ‘sunset clauses’ in the agreement.

If negotiations fail, Trump said, “the deal will be terminated.”

US ‘more isolated than ever,’ Tehran won’t cave in to pressure – Rouhani on Trump Iran strategy

Tehran won’t cave in to Washington’s pressure, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said, adding that the US is “now more than ever isolated.” Earlier, Donald Trump said he would not re-certify the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal and imposed further sanctions on Tehran.

“Today the United States is more than ever isolated in its opposition to the nuclear deal and in its plots against the Iranian people,”Rouhani said.

Moscow could send more missiles to Kaliningrad over ‘US military buildup in Poland’ – snr Russian MP

Moscow could deploy more forces, including Iskander-M tactical missile systems, to its western regions in response to the US deployment of additional forces to Poland, the head of the Russian parliament’s Defense Committee said.

Russia will “most certainly” respond to the ongoing military buildup at its western borders, Vladimir Shamanov, the head of the Russian State Duma’s Defense Committee and a former airborne troops commander, said.

“That may result in not only an increase of the number of military personnel, but could also involve strengthening our Iskander-M group, in [Russia’s western exclave of] Kaliningrad in particular,” he added, as cited by TASS.

The MP once again slammed US actions in Eastern Europe by saying that Washington is building up its troops in the region without consulting with Russia, in violation of international agreements.

Such an angry reaction by the head of the Duma’s Defense Committee was provoked by reports that the US recently “covertly”sent a new mechanized brigade to Poland, effectively increasing the overall strength of its military group in the Eastern European state to the level of a mechanized division.
