Sputnik - On Friday, US President Donald Trump is expected to decide whether or not to recertify the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement, the US State Department announced Tuesday.



"We would expect a decision on�Friday,"�State Department spokesperson Steve Goldstein said at�a press briefing. "And there have been ongoing discussions regarding this."


Ahead of�his decision, Trump will be meeting with�Secretary of�State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary James Mattis at�the White House to�discuss the matter. It is uncertain which way 45 will lean as�he has in�the past�stated that he�isn't interested in�recertifying the agreement.
However, if POTUS does end up�throwing the deal in�the gutter, Kathy Kelly, co-coordinator of�Voices for�Creative Non-Violence, says it's going to�do nothing but�open the Land of�the Free to "accusations of�practicing double standards."


Speaking to�Radio Sputnik's Loud & Clear, Kelly told show hosts Brian Becker and John Kiriakou that Trump's rejection of�the deal could cause fellow nations to�start thinking twice about�their ties with�the US.
"[Re-imposing sanctions on�Iran] could set the stage for�other countries to�say �you can't trust the US' and that it goes back on�its word," Kelly told Becker. "We are in�a situation where the United States has turned a blind eye to�Israel and its development of�thermonuclear weapons and now that Tehran is in�compliance with�the International Atomic Energy [Agency] and there's no disagreement [with the association on�the matter]� for�US to�say that it doesn't matter� is really endangering people all over�the world."


In the end, Kelly indicated that she hopes "other countries won't feel bullied by�the United States or feel that they have to�be subservient to�US policy."

The multilateral agreement with�Iran, which was signed by�China, France, Germany, Russia, the UK and the European Union, is aimed at�limiting Tehran's nuclear energy program in�exchange for�lifting economic sanctions.
