President Trump withdraws the US from the JCPOA

The US President announces that the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal due to its flaws in preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and its failure to address Iran's other destabilizing activities, such as support for terrorism. The President will reinstate US nuclear sanctions on Iran and institute the highest level of economic sanction, warning that any nation helping Iran in its quest for nuclear weapons could also face strong sanctions. The US will work with its allies to find a lasting solution to the Iranian nuclear threat, including eliminating the threat of Iran's ballistic missile program and blocking its menacing activity across the Middle East. The President also delivers a message to the people of Iran that the US stands with them and hopes for a future of peace and prosperity in the Middle East.
