WHAT DOES THE DISCERTIFICATION OF THE IRAN DEAL BY THE U.S. MEAN?

President Donald Trump has informed Congress that Iran is not complying with its end of the nuclear deal, despite numerous IAEA reports to the contrary and his own two previous certifications. While Trump’s refusal to re-certify is not the same as completely withdrawing from the deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) refusing to certify and kicking the issue over to Congress, means that Congress will have then to decide within 60 days whether to re-impose nuclear-related economic sanctions on Iran.
