US President Trump tweeted on Monday that he would be announcing his decision on the Iran Deal at 2pm on Tuesday (9pm in Israel).
“I will be announcing my decision on the Iran Deal tomorrow from the White House at 2:00pm,” the president tweeted.

Trump has been opposed to the JCPOA Iran deal, due to all its inherent flaws, such as the sunset clause which allows Iran to openly continue their nuclear weapons program in another 7 years, limited verification of Iranian nuclear sites and no restrictions on Iran’s ballistic missile program — which is being designed to be armed with nuclear payloads.
At this point, there is no indication as to what Trump’s decision may be.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu revealed last week that the Mossad acquired the documentation for Iran’s secret nuclear weapons program, proving that Iran lied to inspectors and negotiated with the US in bad faith.
Former Secretary of State John Kerry has been holding “shadow diplomacy” talks with Iran and some European countries in a last ditch attempt to save the deal he negotiated with Iran for President Obama.
Trump has questioned the legality of Kerry’s talks, pointing out that Kerry created the “MESS” that Trump is trying to fix.
The United States does not need John Kerry’s possibly illegal Shadow Diplomacy on the very badly negotiated Iran Deal. He was the one that created this MESS in the first place!
