State Department: Iran Deal Is Not ā€˜Legally Bindingā€™ and Iran Didnā€™t Sign It

President Obama didnā€™t require Iranian leaders to sign the nuclear deal that his team negotiated with the regime, and the deal is not ā€œlegally binding,ā€ his administration acknowledged in a letter to Representative Mike Pompeo (R., Kan.) obtained by National Review.

ā€œThe Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is not a treaty or an executive agreement, and is not a signed document,ā€ wrote Julia Frifield, the State Department assistant secretary for legislative affairs, in the November 19 letter.

Trump asked North Korea to trust HIS promises. Trump never promised Iran anything, and what Obama promised Iran was not Constitutional or binding. Obama never had the authority to negotiate on behalf of the United States, and any promises he made he made on behalf of HIMSELF.

I think we can all agree that Trump didn't break any law in pulling out.
 
Once again the MSM biased news reporting!
Read all the biased reporting and NOT one recognized the fact Iran never signed the deal...but Obama sent them $450 million in cash as part of the total $1.7 billion
supposedly owed the country of Iran when the shah was overthrown in 1979 and all the money Iran supposedly spent i.e. $450 million for undelivered military accumulated with
interest to $1.7 billion... again a deal that wasn't signed by Iran!

I'm going to repeat this because on further inspection...WOW...

Remember at the time Obama's OWN state department admits... JCPOA was not a signed document!

First, as noted above, as a political agreement the JCPOA is not binding under international law.
The second issue is whether the commitments made in the JCPOA are binding under domestic law.
An article in the Atlantic flatly asserted Rubio was wrong, equating the Iran deal to congressionally authorized executive agreements such as the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, NAFTA, and World Trade Organization.
