Criticism of the Iran nuclear deal

World powers have vowed to uphold a landmark deal curbing Iran's nuclear program after President Donald Trump pulled the United States out of the agreement, raising fears of a fresh confrontation with Tehran.

Telegraph - Donald Trump pulled America out of the Iran nuclear deal on Tuesday, reimposing sanctions on the regime and delivering on an election campaign promise.

The US president said the "defective" 2015 agreement would not stop Iran developing a nuclear bomb and signed a presidential memorandum enacting the US withdrawal.

U.S. President Donald Trump will announce on May 8 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.

Washington's new chief diplomat lashed out at Iran on April 29 as he met Saudi leaders and headed to Israel to rally opposition to Tehran and brief U.S. allies on President Donald Trump's threat to quit the Iran nuclear deal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a fresh call on April 23 for an overhaul of the Iran nuclear deal as U.S. President Donald Trump's deadline for further Iranian concessions edged closer.

European and U.S. officials are planning to meet in Berlin in March for talks on Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, a German Foreign Ministry source said on Wednesday, quoted by Reuters.

Another European diplomat said the meeting would take place on March 15.
