川普總統預計宣佈美國對伊朗的新策略

U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to withdraw his support for the Iran nuclear agreement Friday, but stop short of completely scrapping the deal. The U.S. leader is due to lay out a new strategy.

Trump will likely declare it is not in U.S. national security interests to certify the 2015 deal that Washington reached with Iran and five other countries.

The move would kick off a 60-day period during which Congress must decide whether to reimpose some or all of the economic sanctions that had been lifted as part of the agreement.

Many Republicans and Democrats are opposed to reinstating sanctions, which would effectively kill the agreement, and media reports suggest Trump may hold off on urging Congress to do so.

Trump has called the pact "one of the dumbest deals ever" and repeatedly suggested that he may do away with it. The president has said Iran has "not lived up to the spirit" of the agreement.

Under U.S. law, the president must certify to Congress every 90 days that Iran is in compliance with the nuclear deal and that it is in U.S. interests to stay in the agreement. Trump has twice certified the deal, but done so unhappily, reports suggest.

The next certification deadline is October 15. The Trump administration has continued to accuse Iran of sponsoring terrorism, threatening U.S. allies in the Middle East and testing ballistic missiles. Trump has publicly lamented that the agreement does not cover these issues.

Iranian officials have stressed that the deal is not up for renegotiation. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has threatened to leave the deal "within hours" if the U.S. imposes new sanctions.美國總統川普預計星期五將宣佈，不再支持伊核協議，但是不會徹底廢除協議。川普總統將宣佈美國對伊朗的新策略。

川普總統很可能宣佈，美國以及其他五大國與伊朗2015年簽署的協議不符合美國的國家利益。這項宣佈將啓動一個爲期60天的程序。國會必須在60天內決定是否恢復部分或全部對伊朗的制裁。美國當初是根據伊核協議取消對伊朗制裁的。

很多共和黨議員和民主黨議員反對恢復對伊朗制裁。恢復制裁將等於廢除伊核協議。媒體報道，川普總統可能暫時不會要求國會這樣做。

川普總統稱伊核協議是美國達成的“最愚蠢”的協議，並一再暗示要廢除這個協議。他說，伊朗沒有履行協議的精神。

依照美國法律，總統必須每隔90天向國會認定伊朗是否履行了協議，以及遵守這項協議符合美國的國家利益。川普總統已經兩次向國會認定，但是媒體報道，他並不情願這樣做。

總統向國會報告的下一個期限是10月15號。川普行政當局繼續指稱伊朗支持恐怖主義，在中東威脅美國盟友，並測試彈道導彈。川普對伊核協議不包括這些內容公開表示不滿。

伊朗官員強調說，協議沒有重新談判的餘地。伊朗總統魯哈尼威脅說，如果美國實施新的制裁，伊朗幾小時後就會退出協議。
