'Seven years is tomorrow.” — President Trump, discussing the Iran nuclear deal in a White House news conference, April 30, 2018Trump has never liked the Iran nuclear deal and may decide to withdraw the United States from further participation. '
'Whatever he decides, Trump said, the international agreement would expire in seven years anyway and Iran would be able to build nuclear weapons regardless. '
'“In seven years, that deal will have expired, and Iran is free to go ahead and create nuclear weapons. '
'He called Trump’s claim “completely false.”The JCPOA strengthens the restrictions Iran faces under the Non-Proliferation Treaty in perpetuity, Lewis added.“Under Article II [of the Non-Proliferation Treaty], Iran may not ‘manufacture or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices,’ ” Lewis said. “But did Iran’s pre-2003 nuclear weapons research constitute the ‘manufacture’ of nuclear weapons?'
'But Trump’s assertion that the JCPOA is set to expire in seven years and that Iran would be free to build nuclear weapons afterward is simply not accurate. '
