Trump may cite UN resolution to decertify Iran nuclear deal – US envoy to UN

‘As President Donald Trump’s deadline for certification of the Iran nuclear deal approaches, US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley says the president is looking to a post-deal UN resolution to justify his decision.
Haley told reporters Thursday that Trump would take into consideration a UN resolution that was originally intended to support the Iran nuclear deal, when he decides whether to recertify the agreement under US law.
UN Resolution 2231, written by the US delegation in 2015, sets forth the UN Security Council’s plan of action to monitor Iran’s commitments to the nuclear deal, legally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The resolution also condemns Iran for ballistic missile-testing, weapons smuggling and support for terrorism, among other acts, but at the same time, lays out a plan for a complete lifting of sanctions. Iran, however, is not considered to be legally bound by the resolution, and has been compliant under the JCPOA, which focuses strictly on uranium enrichment.’
