announced last Wednesday that it intends to violate two provisions of a 2015 nuclear agreement
— which the U.S. unilaterally pulled out of last year — and threatened other members of the agreement that it would restart part of its halted nuclear program if they did not resume oil trade within 60 days.

"The Iranians are trying to take this one step at a time, and they're really looking for excuses to stay in the confines of the agreement," Rome said.
