Mr Trump made the threat as he extended waivers of key economic sanctions on Iran, keeping the accord alive at least for now. "This is a last chance," Mr Trump warned in a statement that outlined several tough new rules on Iran. "In the absence of such an agreement, the United States will not again waive sanctions in order to stay in the Iran nuclear deal." But Mr Trump paired Friday's concession with other, targeted sanctions on Iran for human rights abuses and ballistic missile development. "Today, I am waiving the application of certain nuclear sanctions, but only in order to secure our European allies' agreement to fix the terrible flaws of the Iran nuclear deal," Mr Trump said.
