US President Donald Trump will announce on Friday (13) the decision on the multilateral nuclear pact signed with Iran in 2015 and the new strategy for dealing with the country, the White House reported. The information is from the EFE Agency.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders explained during her press conference on Thursday (12) that Trump will make the announcement around 12:45 local time tomorrow (13:45 in Brasília).
Trump must announce before Sunday whether he believes Iran is complying with the multilateral agreement to limit its nuclear program, in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions against the country.
The expectation is that Trump will declare that the US Congress should review the agreement because it does not serve the country's "national interest," something that could represent the beginning of the end for the pact.
The president's new strategy was anticipated by several American media outlets, despite the White House remaining silent on the matter since Trump's revelation in September that the decision on the Iran deal had already been made.
According to the country's leading newspapers, Trump plans to eliminate the "government certification" that states the pact serves the national interests of the United States.
This measure does not represent a withdrawal from the agreement, but it opens a 60-day period for Congress to review the pact and assess the next steps to be taken, including possible sanctions against Iran.
The White House spokeswoman has emphasized in recent days that the president will establish a "comprehensive strategy" that will address not only the nuclear agreement, but also Iran's "bad behavior," exemplified by recent ballistic missile tests and accusations that the country is a "sponsor of terrorism."
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said yesterday (11) that his country is united in defending the nuclear agreement - a pact also signed with Germany, China, France, the United Kingdom and Russia - and that a contrary decision by Trump would represent a "failure" for the US.
Another point that has generated apprehension in Tehran is the possibility of the Trump administration designating Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group, a red line for the regime. ayatollahs.
