Haley Lays Out Argument to Say Iran Not Abiding Nuclear Deal

by Associated Press

   President Donald Trump's envoy to the United Nations is laying out the
   argument for the U.S. potentially declaring Iran in formal violation of
   the nuclear deal.

   U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley says she doesn't know what
   decision Trump will make on the Iran deal. She says it's his decision
   alone.
   But Haley is detailing a litany of U.S. grievances against Iran and its
   Revolutionary Guard. Many of the accusations took place before the
   nuclear deal was negotiated.
   Decertification would be a first step toward the Trump administration
   fulfilling its threat to pull out of the deal.
   But notably, Haley says if Trump does declare Iran in violation, that
   doesn't necessarily mean the U.S. will withdraw from the deal. She's
   leaving open the possibility that sanctions relief could remain.
