President Trump plans to announce next week that he will “decertify” the international nuclear deal with Iran, saying it is not in the national interest of the United States and kicking the issue to a reluctant Congress, people briefed on an emerging White House strategy for Iran said Thursday.
The move would mark the first step in a process that could eventually result in the resumption of U.S. sanctions against Iran, which would blow up a deal limiting Iran’s nuclear activities that the country reached in 2015 with the U.S. and five other nations.
Trump is expected to deliver a speech, tentatively scheduled for Oct. 12, laying out a larger strategy for confronting the nation it blames for terrorism and instability throughout the Middle East.
Under what is described as a tougher and more comprehensive approach, Trump would open the door to modifying the landmark 2015 agreement he has repeatedly bashed as a raw deal for the United States. But for now he would hold off on recommending that Congress reimpose sanctions on Iran that would abrogate the agreement, said four people familiar with aspects of the president’s thinking.

“Other people familiar with ... spoke on condition of anonymity”
well, there you have it. this may or may not be true, since the “people familiar with” could be the guy who runs the floor buffer at night, or there may simply be no source at all.
since it’s from WaPo, it’s best to assume it’s fake news, in which case it’s pointless to make further comment one way or the other on the meritoriousness of this particular bit of fake news.
Hmmm.....wondering if this had anything to do with Kelly getting booted off of Air Force One.
If so, well done by the President.
I’m sure led by Beltway Bob Corker the do-nothing Congress will find a way to save Obama’s Iran deal again.
Ben Rhodes and Samantha Powers (former Obama officials) both already attacking Trump on twitter for withdrawing from the deal.

Except this makes sense. POTUS can wash our hands of a bad deal and hold off on sanctions for now. The Euro weenies and corporate interests badly want to do business with Iran.
#MAGA in progress...
“Passing a bill in the legislature requires time and debate “
Obviously, but Texas bill proponents let the process drag out and the bill died. The longer let it take the more the left builds opposition is my point.
I know. Getting tired of this speculation. IMVHO this is all the media has left in an instant news cycle. Get the story out even if it is only speculation. So now we get double the coverage. First the speculation. Then the real deal.
Not to mention it is an illegal contract/agreement because it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and, therefore, unenforceable and void.
Sometimes that's a way of saying you tried to do something, but it failed due to circumstances beyond your control.
It would be helpful if the State Department would release the full details of the Iran agreement. I am sure the public wants to know. I do!
“Trump should declare that the agreement is a treaty, and, as such, must be submitted to the Senate for approval or disapproval”
Yesiree, thats EXACTLY right. This is no treaty, This was Obama playing with his pen skirting treaty rules, such the sworn constitutionalist he was.
And of course Iran showed the world their big male tools by never actually signing the damn thing.
Let’s shine the light of truth on this and the people out of the spin zone. And lets yes also talk about now our money ended up there on loading palettes, needing to be shoveled off.
While we’re add it, lets deconstruct the Paris treaty a page at a time to show this is all about buildng a global climate bueracracy that we cant touch. Brussels 2.0.
So yes, yes, book the prime time amd lets tell the people what Obama actually did as opposed to what he pretended to do

Allahwahoo Trumpbar!
Actually it is in the national interest, of Iran and Barack Hussein Obama.
But we already knew this....
we will hire Srutonim to make taunting youtube videos of the supreme leader.
Trump is giving the Iran deal the DACA treatment kicking to the do nothing congress!
Brilliant!
Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President, worked very hard to give Iran nuclear weapons and to prevent the hated Israeli Jews from stopping them.
Hussein, from his bunker in Washington, will urge Soros in calling for more riots to stop Trump. Surely Obama/Soros/Clinton owns at least one Secret Service agent that will kill Trump.
