Iran nuclear deal must be upheld, not scrapped
US President Donald Trump announced last month that Washington would continue to honor the terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran, and waived sanctions against Teheran once again. But he also issued an "ultimatum": the agreement must be revised or the US will withdraw from it.
As such, the future of the agreement remains uncertain. Will it be scrapped by the US after three months or retained with revisions?
Trump has been quite firm in demanding revisions of what he describes as the "worst" accord in American history. The revisions he wants reportedly include permanent restrictions on Iran's nuclear enrichment activities and ballistic missile program, and inclusion of its military operations in the Middle East in the nuclear negotiations.
