WASHINGTON, United States — President Donald Trump will confirm on Tuesday whether he will make good on a threat to re-impose US sanctions on Tehran and thereby throw the entire Iran nuclear deal into question. Trump had until Saturday to decide whether to renew a waiver on one package of US sanctions targeting Iran’s oil sector that had been lifted as part of Washington’s commitment under the 2015 deal. ADVERTISEMENT“I will be announcing my decision on the Iran Deal tomorrow from the White House at 2:00 pm (1800 GMT),” the president said in a tweet. Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday issued a strong warning to the United States not to quit the pact. “If the United States leaves the nuclear agreement, you will soon see that they will regret it like never before in history,” Rouhani said.
