UN nuclear watchdog confirms Iran shipped sensitive material abroad: diplomat

Although Trump and some of his Republican allies may believe that isolating the Islamic Republic serves United States interests, Washington would undoubtedly find itself isolated given how many major countries want to further unfreeze their economic ties with Iran.

Rouhani never mentioned Trump by name in his speech, though he prefaced his remarks with noting that “some man. elected in the U.S”. Yes, he may desire many things.

US President-elect Donald Trump originally vowed to scrap the nuclear accord, describing it as “the worst deal ever negotiated” but later backed down, saying he would “police that contract so tough [the Iranians] don’t have a chance”. “Do you think we and our nation will let him do that?”

Rouhani, who is expected to run for a second term in May, has faced a barrage of criticism from conservatives who say his team made too many concessions in the nuclear deal for minimal economic gain.

“Selecting Poblete for the NSC landing team sends a clear signal that the next administration is looking to reverse some of the damage that President Obama has inflicted when it comes to Iran and Cuba and will legitimize and improve the totality of Trump’s foreign policy agenda”, the source said.

Signed by Iran and the P5+1 group of world powers – the US, UK, France, China and Russian Federation plus Germany – the deal lifted crippling economic sanctions, after the International Atomic Energy Agency certified that Iran had restricted its sensitive nuclear activities.

“The nuclear deal is not a bilateral agreement between United States of America and Iran but an global binding agreement signed also by the other members of the UN Security Council and Germany”.

Holding steady at around 2.8 million barrels per day under sanctions, Iran’s output could increase about 10 percent for the year, the report said. Any plans he might have will be revealed later on.

The ISA needs the USA president’s approval to become law.

Baden-Württemberg’s intelligence service similarly reported Iranian efforts to obtain technology for the production of “nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs”, while Saarland’s intelligence agency noted that both Iran and North Korea tried to acquire “technology for atomic, biological or chemical weapons”.

“The problem of how to deal with this deal is something I will discuss with president Trump when he takes office”, Netanyahu said on December 4.

“The only snapback I’m aware of is obviously the snapback provision that allows us to put back in place very quickly nuclear-related sanctions”, Toner said.
