Trump Is Likely One Day Away From Killing the Iran Nuclear Deal

President Donald Trump hates the deal the United States made with Iran and several other countries. Hates it so much he has repeatedly called the deal that limits Iran’s nuclear activity “an embarrassment.” Hates it so much that the photograph above was taken from a rally against the deal in Washington, D.C. held in late 2015.
And while Trump doesn’t seem to have much of a reason to hate the deal, he is certainly in a position to do something about it. Despite everyone connected with the deal saying that Iran is complying with the strict nuclear limits (which they agreed to in exchange for relaxed trade sanctions), Trump is reportedly planning not to certify that they are. The deal requires a certification from the president every 90 days, and Trump has certified it twice in the past. The next certification day would be Oct. 15, this Sunday.
