White House: Iran Legally Complying on Nuclear Deal But Defaulting on "Spirit" of Agreement
(ABC News) Alexander Mallin - The U.S. has certified to Congress that Iran is legally in compliance with the nuclear deal, but senior administration officials said Iran is "unquestionably in default of the spirit of the [agreement]." The officials pointed to "a range of malign activities" including Iran's ballistic missile development, support of militant groups in the region and Syria's Assad regime, its hostility to Israel and its continued detention of foreigners including U.S. citizens. Moving forward, the administration will "employ a strategy" that seeks to address Iran's aggressive behavior in the region.
