Trump announces 'withdrawal' from JCPOA

President Donald Trump has announced his decision to withdraw the United States from Iran’s nuclear deal with the world powers and re-impose sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

"I am announcing today that the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal," Trump said Tuesday in a televised address from the White House.

"In a few moments, I will sign a presidential memorandum to begin reinstating US nuclear sanctions on the Iranian regime. We will be instituting the highest level of economic sanctions."

The European Union, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany have expressed support for the deal in the wake of new anti-Iran claims by the illegal Zionist entity.
