WASHINGTON — US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley made the case today for President Donald Trump to not certify Iran’s compliance when the nuclear deal comes up for review next month, effectively tossing the issue back to Congress.
Speaking at the American Enterprise Institute, the neoconservative think tank that was a main cheerleader for regime change in Iraq, Haley argued that the 2015 nuclear deal was deeply flawed. She said it did not resolve a long list of other US grievances about Iran’s behavior, from its support for the Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah to its ballistic missile program.
