Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump has a message to Republicans in Congress -- you don't like the Iran nuclear deal, so you deal with it. His expected decision to decertify the agreement would allow him to save face and dent Barack Obama's legacy. But though the International Atomic Energy Agency and US military leaders say Iran is honoring the agreement, Trump has had enough. Two senior officials told CNN that Trump is expected to unveil his decision next week. If Trump goes ahead, it will not be the first time that the President has claimed what he sees as a political win and left it to Congress -- hardly known for taking tough decisions quickly under pressure -- with a political dilemma. Compliance: Every 90 days, the US President must certify to Congress that Iran is keeping up its end of the deal. If the President does not certify the agreement, Congress has a statutory 60-day period to decide whether to reimpose sanctions. Sanctions: If Iran doesn't comply, US, European Union, and UN nuclear-related sanctions on the Iranian economy would be reinstated. Sources told CNN's Dana Bash that Democratic senators visiting the White House this week came away with the impression that national security adviser H.R. The move, despite available evidence that Iran is indeed living up to the pact, could also have a prolonged diplomatic cost.
