Iran is deceiving the US — this is Trump's way forward

For Iran, being a state sponsor of international terrorism and proliferator of ballistic missiles
since Jan. 1984 are two sides of the same coin. The State Department
designated Iran as a State Sponsor of Terrorism in 1984; Iran continued
its terrorist-related activity through 2014, including support for
Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza (Hamas), Lebanese Hezbollah, and
various groups in Iraq and throughout the Middle East, which are a
threat to allies like Israel and friends, such as Jordan and the Gulf
States. Tehran also transferred short-and mid-range ballistic missiles to Hamas and Hezbollah.
On Apr. 17, 2017, Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson described the Iran nuclear deal as a failure but said
Tehran was complying with its terms. Tillerson stopped short of
threatening to abandon the 2015 accord brokered by the major powers or
saying if the Trump administration would penalize Iran with new
sanctions on ballistic missiles or state-sponsored terrorism. Tillerson
announced the National Security Council (NSC) would review the accord.
