President Trump threatened new sanctions against Iran and called on several countries to leave the international agreement known as the JCPOA or “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” Wednesday morning in a televised address from the White House. It comes less than 24 hours after Tehran struck U.S. military targets inside Iraq. The president said that those attacks caused “minimal damage” and no loss of life.
