John Kerry says Trump ‘creating intn’l crisis over Iran deal’
Former US Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday blasted President Trump's decision not to re-certify Iran's compliance with the Iran nuclear deal, accusing Mr. Trump of jumpstarting an "international crisis".
Hours earlier, Mr. Trump announced the White House "cannot and will not"certify Iran's compliance while the country violates the "spirit" of the 2015 agreement, and the president didn't rule out the possibility of exiting the deal in the future if necessary. The president's decision gives Congress roughly 90 days until the next certification deadline to come up with a legislative solution to Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile threats in a way that satisfies Mr. Trump, Cbsnews.com reports.
Kerry was the country's top diplomat in 2015 when the U.S. entered into the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), better known as the Iran deal.
