US Decision Imminent on Renewing Waivers for International Work on Iran's
Nuclear Sites

Michael Lipin

   The Trump administration faces a self-imposed Tuesday deadline to
   decide whether to extend waivers allowing other world powers to work
   with Iran on civilian nuclear projects without facing U.S. sanctions.

   Speaking at an Oct. 16 Senate hearing, U.S. Special Envoy for Iran,
   Brian Hook, said the Iran nuclear waivers renewed by the State
   Department for 90 days on July 30 expire on Oct. 29. He said Secretary
   of State Mike Pompeo would have to make a decision by then on canceling
   the five waivers or renewing any of them for an additional period.
