Report: Trump Admin Pressuring Intel Officials to Find Iran in Violation of Nuclear Deal
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Guardian reports U.S. intelligence officials are facing pressure
from the Trump administration to find justification to declare Iran in
violation of the landmark 2015 nuclear deal. Officials compared it to
the situation in the lead-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Former CIA
analyst Ned Price said intelligence officials "told me there was a sense
of revulsion. There was a sense of déjà vu. There was a sense of 'we've
seen this movie before'." Trump has repeatedly threatened to cancel the
landmark nuclear deal, calling it the "worst deal ever."
