VietPress USA (April 30, 2018): On July 14, 2015, leaders of the P5+1 countries consisting of U.S., China, France, Russia, Great Britain and Germany signed a Nuclear Deal with Iran that will limit the Iran's nuclear program in exchange for eased economic sanctions, ending more than a decade of tempestuous negotiations. EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini and Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif announced the deail in Vienna following weeks of round-the-clock talks to iron out the details of the deal, which will cut back Tehran's nuclear program and require oversight by the U.N. nuclear agency.
President Barack Obama had signed legislation that gives Congress the power to review and potentially reject a nuclear deal with the Iranian regime. He signed the measure without ceremony Friday at the White House on May 22, 2015.
On Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017, President Trump refuses to sign off on Iran Nuclear deal. US President, Donald Trump has condemned Iran as a fanatical regime and refused to continue signing off on a landmark international nuclear deal. Speaking at the White House, Trump accused Iran of sponsoring terrorism and proposed new sanctions.
He said Iran has already violated the 2015 deal, which imposed curbs on Iran's nuclear capability in return for easing international embargoes. Trump said he is acting in order to deny Iran all paths to a nuclear weapon. Trump said that congressional leaders are already drafting amendments that will curb the ballistic missile development and eliminate expiry dates on restrictions to Iran's nuclear development.
In a joint statement, the UK, Germany and France said they are concerned by Trump's move but remain committed to the deal. Russia said it remains committed to the deal and is opposed to the use of aggressive and threatening rhetoric in international relations.
Congress requires the US President to certify every 90 days that Iran is upholding its part of the agreement. Trump has already re-certified twice, but refused to sign a third time ahead of a Sunday deadline. Congress now has 60 days to decide whether to pull out of the nuclear deal by re-imposing sanctions.
French President Emmanuel Macron at his recent state visit to the White House for a state dinner and summit with President Trump for celebrating nearly 250 years of US-French relation, he confirmed with U.S. Congress in a speech that France will continue the Nuclear Deal with Iran.
Today Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Monday, April 30, 2018, threatens that Iran will withdraw its Nuclear Deal when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech claiming that Iran had been in violation of the nuclear deal.

Deputy Foreign Minister Threatens Iran’s Withdrawal From Nuclear Deal
Iranian deputy foreign minister Abbas Araghchi appeared to
signal Monday the country’s imminent withdrawal from the nuclear deal
negotiated by the Obama administration in 2015.
“The Iran nuclear deal is no longer sustainable for Iran in
its present form, without regard to a US exit,” Araghchi stated Monday,
according to the Iranian Students News Agency.
Araghci added that Iran is “preparing all necessary options
for any scenario.”
The deputy foreign minister’s comments came just before
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech claiming that Iran had
been in violation of the nuclear deal.
“First, Iran lied about never having a nuclear weapons
program; 100,000 secret files proved that they lied,” Netanyahu argued.
“Second, even after the deal, Iran continued to preserve and expand its nuclear
weapons knowhow for future use. Why would a terrorist regime hide and
meticulously catalog its secret nuclear files if not to use them at a later
date. Third, Iran lied again in 2015 when it didn’t come clean to the IAEA as
required by the nuclear deal.”
President Trump added at a Monday joint press conference
with President Buhari of Nigeria that he was considering withdrawing from the
nuclear deal, a point he has consistently made since beginning his presidential
campaign in 2015.
Iran’s foreign minister Javad Zarif heavily criticized Trump
following the conclusion of his Monday remarks.
“Pres. Trump is jumping on a rehash of old allegations
already dealt with by the IAEA to ‘nix’ the deal,” he wrote. “How convenient.
Coordinated timing of alleged intelligence revelations by the boy who cries
wolf just days before May 12.”
“Trump’s impetuousness to celebrate blew the cover.”
