World Leaders & Senior U.S. Officials Pressure Trump Not to Decertify Iran Nuclear Deal
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

World leaders, senior U.S. officials and U.S. lawmakers are all
pressuring President Trump not to decertify the landmark 2015 nuclear
deal with Iran, which Trump is expected to do as early as Friday. Among
those pressuring Trump is former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak,
known as an anti-Iran hawk, who nevertheless is calling the proposed
withdrawal a mistake. U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis has also urged
Trump to stick with the deal, and the Trump administration itself has
certified that Iran has complied with its obligations.
