Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday the US will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal , sparking outrage from Democrats and at least some criticism from the President's own party. "To me, the greatest worries from Iran are not right now (on) the nuclear side, but rather what they're doing in Syria." Just before the announcement, Democratic members prepared themselves for reports that Trump was planning to begin exiting the deal. "Without proof that Iran is in violation of the agreement, it is a mistake to fully withdraw from this deal," he said in a statement. Over the weekend, House Armed Services Chairman Mac Thornberry told Fox News he didn't want to see the US pull out completely from the Iran deal.
