Trump Prepares to Decertify Iran Nuclear Deal and Then Save it

Donald Trump’s national security team has unanimously recommended that he decertify the Iran nuclear deal – but that he stop short of pushing Congress to reimpose sanctions on Tehran that could unravel the agreement. Trump’s team plans to work with Congress and European allies to apply new pressure on the Iranian regime, according to a strategy developed in an Iran policy review led by National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster. But the strategy assumes the nuclear deal will remain intact for now. As a candidate, Trump described the agreement as “catastrophic” and “the worst deal ever.” But the strategy represents a nuanced approach to one of the most important foreign policy decisions of his early presidency. The goal is to allow the president to demonstrate contempt for the agreement and broadcast a new level of toughness toward the Iranian regime—without triggering the international chaos several of his advisers warn would follow from a total withdrawal from the 2015 deal. Administration officials cautioned that the strategy has not yet been finalized, and that it could change before the president makes an official announcement.

North Korea ship seized with huge weapons cargo en route to Egypt amid WW3 fears

A NORTH Korea ship was seized after it was caught carrying a huge supply of weapons to Egypt as tensions continue to mount with the US. More than 30,000 rocket-propelled grenades discovered on board the freighter named the Jie Shun which the hermit kingdom had decorated with deceptive Cambodian colours. Despot leader Kim Jong-un’s cargo was stopped in its tracks when the US warned Cairo about the incoming ship.

The monumental weapons supply was disguised under bins of iron ore that were used as a front for the hugely destructive delivery. Washington has accused Egypt of attempting to conceal the transaction, claiming there was a lack of action taken until US intelligence alerted Egyptian authorities to the then unidentified vessel.
