Breach of Nuke Deal

In a vast departure from the Obama White House, the Trump administration went on record Wednesday to accuse Iran of being in violation of the landmark nuclear agreement as a result of its recent test of ballistic missile technology, according to a senior White House official, who said that Iran has officially been put "on notice."
Retired Gen. Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump's national security adviser, accused Iran of breaching international accords governing the nuclear agreement. He lashed out at the Islamic Republic for threatening American military assets in the Persian Gulf region.
Flynn's remarks represent a break with the previous administration, which worked to hide Iranian transgressions and declined to publicly state that Iran's behavior violated the nuclear deal.
One senior White House official disclosed to the Washington Free Beacon that "the restraint of recent years" when it comes to Iran "will end."
