Trump Warns This Might Be Final Iran Deal Waiver, President Trump renewed the Iran nuclear deal, but said that this will be the last time. The deal, which must be renewed every 120 days,
waives key sanctions the US lifted as part of the deal.
However, the renewal places 14 new sanctions on people and entities for alleged offenses unrelated to Iran’s nuclear industry. Senior administration officials said Trump will pressure European partners to agree to impose new conditions on Iranian behavior. The deal was originally brokered in 2015 between five other world powers to curb Iran's nuclear aspiration.

Neumann After lashing out against opponents of the Islamic Republic of Iran in several parliamentary debates, a member of the European Parliament has admitted to doing the bidding of Tehran. In a meeting in Brussels, Portuguese socialist MEP Ana Gomes acknowledged that she had been instructed in Tehran to bash the Iranian opposition. “I met with relatives of the victims of a terrorist organisation called MEK,” she said on her visit to Tehran in a meeting of the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee on 22 February 2018. After making a number of allegations about the Iranian opposition movement PMOI or MEK, she added: “We cannot continue to allow some members of this parliament, possibly out of naiveté, to continue to abet some of the members of this organization.” Her claims are particularly surprising, given that competent European and American court...

The French Foreign Ministry even issued a statement ahead of the trip, which said Le Drian ...
