Timothy O'Toole Comments on Iran Sanctions in the Financial Times

"Donald Trump Likely to Keep Iran Sanctions Relief in Place"

Financial Times

Timothy O'Toole commented on the Trump administration's stance on Iranian sanctions relief. The administration is set to renew waivers that exempt nonĀ¬-US companies from sanctions for doing business with Iran, despite President Trump's criticism of the sanctions relief program. The waivers are a central feature of the 2015 deal in which Iran agreed to scale down its nuclear program in exchange for reduced sanctions against their country. "If they don't renew the waivers they will have a big mess on their hands," O'Toole said. "Iran would have no impediment to restarting its nuclear program."
