Trump’s Iran deal must go beyond original JCPOA, senior Democrat says

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said any future nuclear agreement between President Donald Trump's administration and Iran must be more robust than the 2015 accord, with stronger safeguards and verifiable terms.

“Iran should never be allowed to become nuclear capable,” Jeffries told Iran International's Marziya Hussaini on Friday.

“And to the extent that there's an agreement that is reached that is designed to build upon the JCPOA, it should be longer and stronger than what had previously existed and should be done in a manner that is verifiable and resilient.”
