European Union backs under-fire Iran nuclear pact as Trump weighs future

Federica Mogherini was speaking alongside the Foreign Ministers of France, Germany and Britain following a Brussels meeting with their Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif in which the diplomats broached the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, an accord that saw Tehran swap much of its nuclear program for a relaxation of the global sanctions that had been imposed previously, Efe reported.

US President Donald Trump will decide on Friday whether to renew his country's waiver on nuclear-related sanctions, as well as make a decision on Saturday regarding renewing his certification of the 2015 Iran deal.

That major shift in USA policy put the United States at odds with its European allies, as well as Russian Federation and China that are also signatories to the nuclear accord, in the most visible transatlantic split on foreign policy since the 2003 US invasion of Iraq. "IAEA has verified Iran's full compliance, but continuation will depend on full United States compliance", Zarif tweeted from Moscow.

"Congress' main goal now is to fix the key flaws of the Iran nuclear deal; to that end, I'm drafting legislation to do so and, as we work on this matter, we must be dedicated to permanently preventing, not just delaying, Iran from becoming a nuclear weapons state", Roskam said, criticizing what he described as weaker efforts being pushed by his colleagues.

Deputy foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said world powers should be ready for a possible U.S. withdrawal from the deal.

The agreement requires Iran to curb nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief, according to RFE/RL. But they said he might also impose new, targeted sanctions on Iranian businesses and people allegedly involved in missile tests, supporting terrorism, and human rights abuses.

"Europeans must convince Iran that they can deliver on their JCPOA commitments without the US".

United States warns its citizens to be cautious while traveling to India
In a new travel advisory to its citizens, the United States has asked them to reconsider travelling to Pakistan due to terrorism. Additionally, several Mexican states were rated Tier 3, meaning Americans should "reconsider travel" to the areas.


Sources close to the discussions said Tillerson met Wednesday at the White House and this weekend at Camp David with the president to discuss these deadlines and broader Iran policy. Some argue the European Union proponents of the agreement are hypocritically undermining their own defense of the Tehran government when they defend the nuclear deal but criticize the regime for the "unacceptable loss of human life" and denial of "fundamental rights".

Iran's foreign minister says Thursday's Brussels meeting had shown a "strong consensus" that Tehran was complying with the pact. But Mr. Trump warned it remained a possibility.

Trump may also reimpose the nuclear sanctions by executive order at any time.

Juan Zarate, a former assistant treasury secretary for terrorist financing and financial crimes, told the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday that immediate sanctions could be imposed to "isolate and pressure the Revolutionary Guard and the regime leadership by spotlighting human rights abuses, corruption, support to terrorists and militant proxies, and the progress of their ballistic missile program in violation of United Nations sanctions".

So will the movie see Venom as an existing symbiote that the Life Foundation uses as the basis for its own horrifying monsters? It's unclear whether that means we'll get to see Venom swing into the MCU or pop up in some other Marvel/Sony film.


The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has repeatedly said Iran is keeping up its side of the agreement, most recently in November.
