Trump has long railed against the deal President Barack Obama struck with Iran to curb the nation's nuclear ambitions. Trump has said publicly he "decided" how he is going to proceed on the Iran nuclear deal but declined to disclose his decision, teasing to a future date. All the ministers had argued that the nuclear deal was designed to address issues solely related to Iran's nuclear program, according to several diplomats who attended the meeting. Tillerson's strategy centers around trying to compartmentalize the Iran deal by amending the legislation. Diplomats noted that the Iran deal has a "snap back" provision in which the international community can re-impose sanctions if Iran doesn't implement the deal.
