“It is time for the entire world to join us in demanding that Iran’s government end its pursuit of death and destruction,” Trump said in a statement ahead of his remarks.
The entire announcement is a bit confusing. Here are the details:
Friday’s announcement, though, does not withdraw the United States from the Iran deal, something the president has called “one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into.”
Speaking to reporters ahead of Trump’s speech, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the president will use the Congressional Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act to decertify the agreement, which was negotiated over 18 months by the Obama administration.
Congress could then decide to restore sanctions, do nothing or make changes to the law.
Tillerson said the president will press Congress to amend the act to put into place provisions that would trigger sanctions if certain lines are crossed.
Trump is also taking action against the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, authorizing the Treasury Department to impose targeted sanctions against individuals within the IRGC, officials said.
Trump said “we will not make this certification. We cannot continue down a path [with more] violence & terror.”

Trump isn't so much de-certifying the #IranDeal as he is
repudiating Obama's entire approach to Iran and the broader Middle East— Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) October 13, 2017
.@POTUS seems to think that saying "Stop the World! I want to get off" is a legitimate foreign policy. It is not. #IranDeal #ParisAgreement

Uh WTH Nance? Did you miss the last dose of your Alzheimer’s meds?
If Trump decertifies #IranDeal, Congress may then try somehow to “fix” deal or otherwise set policy. This is a lost cause. Must withdraw.
