rich edson has the latest from the state department. the trump administration is staying in the iran nuclear deal, though warned it could withdraw and announced a new round of punishment for iran s activities outside the agreement. secretary of state rex tillerson says iran is clearly in default of the expectations of the deal. president trump has made it clear to those of us helping him develop this policy that we must take into account the totality of iranian threats. not just iran s nuclear capabilities. as one piece of our posture towards iran. meeting the deadline, the trump administration will continue suspending certain sanctions. that keeps the u.s. in the deal. the treasury department announced additional sanctions against nearly a dozen for supporting iran s islamic revolutionary guard corps, ballistic missile program, and cyber attacks. whatever happens with the
