Trump “poised” to withdraw from Iran nuclear deal
May 8, 2018 - U.S. President Donald Trump announces whether he will pull out of the Iran nuclear deal or stay in and work with European allies who say it has successfully halted Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Iran has said it will not renegotiate the accord and threatened to retaliate if the United States pulls out, although it has not said how.
Diplomats and military experts say Tehran could seek to resume its nuclear arms programme or step up its military involvement in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon.
