President Trump Refuses to Recertify the Iran Deal

Today was a good day for all of us who opposed the dangerous deal with Iran.

President Trump announced that he would not recertify the Iran nuclear accord. He also noted that if Congress does not act to fix the serious flaws in this agreement, he will exercise his power as president to terminate the deal.

President Trump also used this opportunity to remind the nation and the world that the Iran agreement has failed to accomplish its larger goals. We were told that this deal would moderate the Iranian regime and bring it back into the family of nations. But as the President noted, the exact opposite has happened. An emboldened and enriched Iran has escalated its support for terror, its regional aggression, and its ballistic missile development.

Finally, President Trump announced that he would take steps to sanction Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps -- the elite that act as the tip of Iran's terrorist spear.

We applaud President Trump for his clarity and his courage. And we welcome the long overdue shift in our Iran policy that he launched today.

The ball is now in Congress' court. We will be watching Congress closely in the coming days. And we will keep you posted on developments on this most critical issue.

Trump announces he will not recertify Iran nuclear accord

US President Donald Trump announced Friday that he would not recertify the Iranian nuclear deal, while not withdrawing from the pact, and outlined a new, tougher approach toward Tehran.

Trump said he was launching a tougher strategy to check Iran's "fanatical regime" and warned that 2015's landmark international nuclear deal could be terminated at any time.

President Donald Trump on Friday threatened to terminate the Iran nuclear deal if Congress doesn't strengthen it, warning the agreement was merely a "temporary delay" in Tehran's quest to obtain nuclear weapons.

In a speech at the White House laying out what he called a "new strategy" for dealing with Iran, Trump also accused Iran of violating both the letter and spirit of the deal and said the U.S. would impose new sanctions on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iran's elite security and military organization.
