The Guardian: White House 'pressuring' intelligence officials to find Iran in violation of nuclear deal
Intelligence analysts, chastened by the experience of the 2003 Iraq war, are said to be resisting the pressure to come up with evidence of Iranian violations.
US intelligence officials are under pressure from the White House to produce a justification to declare Iran in violation of a 2015 nuclear agreement, in an echo of the politicisation of intelligence that led up to the Iraq invasion, according to former officials and analysts.
The collapse of the 2015 deal between Tehran, the US and five other countries – by which Iran has significantly curbed its nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief – would trigger a new crisis over nuclear proliferation at a time when the US is in a tense standoff with North Korea.

Update: US intelligence officials under pressure by Trump administration over Iran (Press TV).
WNU Editor: The focus is on President Trump and concerns that he wants to kill the Iran nuclear deal. But the bigger problem is this .... Iran Stresses No Military Inspection Allowed under Nuclear Deal (Al-Manar). More here .... Iran rejects inspection of military sites under nuclear deal (New China). This lack of mechanisms to verify Iran's compliance with any nuclear deal was one of the first issues that were brought up by those who opposed President Obama's Iran nuclear deal .... objections that were over-ruled by the Obama administration. Now .... not surprising .... the Iranians are now saying that such inspections were not part of the deal .... Iran: We will not allow inspections of facilities that do not fall within Nuclear Agreement (Middle East Monitor). As I had said when the nuclear deal was first signed .... how can one verify and certify that someone is complying with a nuclear deal when you cannot inspect the sites where these nuclear facilities may be operating. Trust (but verify) is a cornerstone for any nuclear deal .... so why are the Iranians being exempted?
