Trump Accuses Iran of Secretly Violating Nuclear Deal: ‘Sanctions Will Soon Be Increased, Substantially!’
President Donald Trump Wednesday accused Iran of violating the nuclear deal that Trump upended by withdrawing.
Iran has long been secretly “enriching,” in total violation of the terrible 150 Billion Dollar deal made by John Kerry and the Obama Administration. Remember, that deal was to expire in a short number of years. Sanctions will soon be increased, substantially!

Trump accused Iran of “secretly enriching” uranium in violation of the Barack Obama administration’s deal with the country. Trump also called for increasing sanctions against the country.
The Iran nuclear deal fell apart after Trump, a longtime critic, withdrew from it last year. Many people on Twitter the irony of Trump accusing Iran of violating a deal his administration withdrew from.
Trump is mad that Iran isn’t abiding by the terms of a deal he broke. #ArtOfTheDeal https://t.co/ic3sR0JZcn

The Trump administration certified Iran’s compliance with the nuclear deal in 2017 and the IAEA said it remained within uranium-enrichment limits as recently as this May https://t.co/4DkL86Brc4 https://t.co/ALEZCsFz2T

About this notion that #Iran is enriching in secret.
Yes, Iran has a history of covertly nuclear activities, including enrichment-related.
But this time around, they’re not doing it in secret. They’ve been open about what they’re doing, when, how, and why they’re doing it. https://t.co/MGZnYnbN4w

Factually incorrect.
1. No evidence that #Iran has been secretly enriching. International inspectors attest the opposite.
2. Deal was not with Obama/Kerry, it was with world powers US,EU, Russia, China,
3. $150 billion was Iran’s own frozen money, returned as part of the deal. https://t.co/CBvp5gwQiT— Farnaz Fassihi (@farnazfassihi) July 10, 2019
That he can say something so patently untrue and unhinged is not likely going to endear him to any of the Europeans on the fence between defying Trump or letting the JCPOA collapse https://t.co/UXK4TMeV0V

Hmmm… will this be followed by evidence of the secret enrichment? https://t.co/uAPjdOTExb
