nuclear deal

As high-stakes nuclear negotiations resumed Tuesday in Geneva under mounting U.S. military pressure, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei taunted President Donald Trump and warned that American warships could be sent “to the bottom of the sea,” denouncing the United States as a “corrupt, oppressive empire” in decline.

President Donald Trump said Monday he will be “indirectly” involved in Tuesday’s high-stakes nuclear talks with Iran in Geneva, expressing confidence Tehran wants “to make a deal” while warning that he does not believe the regime wants “the consequences of not making a deal” as U.S. military forces continue building pressure across the Middle East.

I urge President Donald Trump to decertify Iranian compliance with the catastrophic 2015 Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and to reimpose sanctions on Iran for its failure to cease supporting international terrorist groups and internal human rights abuses. I also recommend decertifying the deal and imposing sanctions because Iran is already in breach of the agreement, permissive as it is towards Tehran.

President Trump should not recertify the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), otherwise known as the Iran Nuclear Deal. The JCPOA is not in America’s best interests. This so-called “deal” isn’t a pathway for how to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. It is a blueprint for exactly how Iran can acquire a nuclear weapon. It was a very bad, one-sided deal, for what was in the deal, and a very bad, one-sided deal, for what was not in the deal.
