CIA director doubts Iran will honor nuclear concessions in deal - Axios

CIA Director John Ratcliffe told President Donald Trump and senior US officials that intelligence assessments raise serious doubts about Iran’s willingness to make the nuclear concessions sought by Washington in any final agreement, according to three sources familiar with the discussions, Axios reported on Monday.

"The concerns, raised during internal meetings ahead of the announcement of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, reflect broader skepticism within parts of Trump’s national security team about whether Tehran will comply with the deal’s requirements," the report said.

Ratcliffe and Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly told colleagues they doubted Iran would agree to the nuclear steps required under the US proposal, according to two of the sources, the report added.
