Iran is bracing itself for President Donald Trump’s announcement Tuesday on the future of the nuclear deal, with a top Iranian official saying the end of the agreement will only embolden the people’s support for the Islamic Republic. Trump tweeted late Monday night that he will make a decision by Tuesday afternoon about whether to pull the U.S. out of the nuclear accord between Tehran and other world powers. Iranian president Hassan Rouhani admitted Tuesday that if the U.S. scraps the deal, there could be immediate difficulties but remained hopeful that the country will recover. Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, told 'Fox News Sunday' that he “would counsel against” Trump scrapping the nuclear deal. "These files conclusively prove that Iran is brazenly lying when it says it never had a nuclear weapons program," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
