President Trump’s latest decisions appear aimed at bating Iran into halting its compliance with the JCPOA in an apparent move to hasten the path to war.

NIAC Action Statement on President Trump Signing New Iran Sanctions Into Law
“Buried within the Russia and North Korea sanctions are dangerous and controversial Iran sanctions that will likely backfire against us.
