Will the Trump administration scrap the Iran nuclear deal, or is the basic framework of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action here to stay? On Thursday, the deputies of the National Security Council will hold their first meeting to discuss the Trump administration’s review of Iran’s compliance with the nuclear deal. This comes two days after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson announced the United States certified that Tehran had been compliant with the deal through April 18. President Trump, said Tillerson, “has directed a National Security Council-led interagency review” of the deal to “evaluate whether suspension of sanctions related to Iran pursuant to the JCPOA is vital to the national security interests of the United States.”

According to one Trump administration official, acknowledging Iran’s compliance with the narrow provisions of the deal is not the same as denying the regime could be acting badly. White House press secretary Sean Spicer, when asked Wednesday if the president was concerned Iran could be cheating, said, “that’s why he’s asking for this review. I think that there’s—if he didn’t, if he thought that everything was fine, he would have allowed this to move forward. I think he’s doing the prudent thing by asking for a review of the current deal.”
