川普總統即將宣佈對伊核協議決定
President Donald Trump is expected to announce within days that he will no longer certify Iran's compliance with the 2015 Iran nuclear law, the president has until October 15th to decide, but White House sources say it may come sooner.
"The president has reached a decision on an overall Iran strategy and wants to make sure we have a broad policy to deal with that, not just one part of it, to deal with all of the problems of Iran being a bad actor," White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday.
Trump tipped his hand last month in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly. "The Iran deal was one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into."
A decision not to recertify would not void the deal, which Iran reached with the United States and other world powers to suspend its nuclear program. It also does not automatically bring previous sanctions back into force. But many experts believe it could set in motion a process that could snap sanctions back into place and result in undoing the accord.
European leaders, including British Prime Minister Theresa May, have been in touch with Trump in recent days to try to persuade him not to back away from the accord. May called the president Tuesday to "reaffirm the UK's strong commitment to the deal alongside our European partners, saying it was vitally important for regional security," according to a readout issued by the prime minister's office.
A White House statement about the call said the leaders discussed denying Iran "all paths" to a nuclear weapon.
Several experts and former officials have warned that U.S. credibility and trustworthiness are also at stake.美國總統川普預計很快將宣佈，他不認爲伊朗遵守了2015年簽訂的伊核協議。依照法律，川普總統必須在10月15號之前做出決定，但是白宮消息來源說，總統很可能更早宣佈決定。
白宮新聞祕書桑德斯星期二說：“總統已經對全面的伊朗戰略做出決定，並要確保我們有一個全面的政策，應對伊朗這個不守規矩的國家的所有問題，而不是其中一部分。”
川普總統上個月在聯合國大會講話時流露出他的想法，他稱伊核協議是“美國簽署的最糟糕、最只利於一方的協議”。
川普總統不認可伊朗遵守協議的決定不會廢除伊朗與世界六大國達成的停止其核項目的協議，也不會自動恢復美國對伊朗的制裁。但是很多專家認爲，這將啓動一個程序，重啓對伊朗的制裁，最終廢除協議。
包括英國首相特蕾莎.梅在內的歐洲國家領導人最近一直與川普總統接觸，希望他不要從伊核協議後退。英國首相辦公室的書面聲明說，特蕾莎.梅首相星期二給川普總統打電話，表示英國與歐洲夥伴國一樣，堅持對協議的承諾，並說協議對區域安全至關重要。
白宮聲明說，特蕾莎.梅首相和川普總統商討了如何確保堵住伊朗獲得核武器的所有途徑。
一些專家和前政府官員警告說，美國的聲譽和可信度也面臨嚴峻考驗。
