As a violation of the resolution. then once they did it during the obama administration, they didnt treat it as a violation. what is happening under the trump administration as they are responding by saying we acknowledge this is a violation of the agreement here and we will take it seriously. people were concerned that trump wouldnt do sanctions because of irans closeness with russia. hes doing it and the fact that it will be announced shows maybe people have not been predicting accurately has ...
