Iran nuclear deal: What is it?
The waivers are accompanied by other, targeted sanctions on Iran for human rights abuses, officials said. And President Trump still warns he could pull out of the nuclear deal negotiated by his predecessor if fixes aren’t made – and soon.
In October 2017, Trump decertified the nuclear deal under U.S. law, saying the sanctions relief was disproportionate to Iran's nuclear concessions. He contended the arrangement was contrary to America's national security interests.
The nuclear deal with Iran has long been a point of contention, especially among Republicans who opposed it.
What is the Iran nuclear deal?
The Iran nuclear deal framework – officially the "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action" – was a historic agreement reached by Iran and several world powers, including the U.S., in 2015, under Barack Obama’s presidency.
In part, the deal was made to reduce Iran’s ability to produce two components used in making nuclear weapons: plutonium and uranium. In return, crippling economic sanctions on Iran were to be abated.
