Here is his remarks about Iranian regime and the Iran Deal.\u2026We declined to certify the terrible one-sided Iran nuclear deal. It was a horrible deal. Whoever heard you give $150 billion to a nation that has no respect for you whatsoever? They\u2019re saying death to America. Well, they\u2019re signing the agreement. If somebody said death to America, while I\u2019m signing an agreement, I say what\u2019s going on, folks? I\u2019m not signing.They kept going\u2026., but how about $1.8 billion in cash? Did you ever see what a million dollars in 100 dollar bills, a lot of people do it as a promotion, it is big, it is big. Now take that, go to $1.8 billion in cash, $1.8 billion, for what? For what? Why did we do this? Why did we do it?Mike Pence Warns That the US Will Not Recertify Iran Nuclear DealUS Vice President Mike Pence has said that the Donald Trump administration will not recertify the 2015 Iran nuclear deal at the May 11 deadline, which increases the likelihood of US sanctions being reimposed on Iran.At the Conservative Political Action Conference, Pence said: \"The United States will no longer tolerate Iran's destabilizing activities across the region, and this country will no longer certify the disastrous Iran nuclear deal.\"He said: \u201cDespite my strong inclination, I have not yet withdrawn the United States from the Iran nuclear deal. Instead, I have outlined two possible paths forward: either fix the deal\u2019s disastrous flaws, or the United States will withdraw.\u201dAmnesty International Reports on Grave and Numerous Human Rights Violations in IranAmnesty International has released its latest report on the situation of human rights in the world. The situation in Iran was elaborated in great detail and the organisation highlighted many areas in which human rights are being heavily suppressed.Torture is also used as a punishment in Iran.
