President Trump extended the Iran nuclear deal on Friday — but the White House warned that this would be the last time unless Congress modifies the agreement to make it tougher.

“This is a last chance,” Trump warned in a statement that outlined several tough new rules.

“In the absence of such an agreement, the United States will not again waive sanctions in order to stay in the Iran nuclear deal.”

The president faced a Friday deadline to decide whether to reimpose tough economic sanctions on Iran’s central bank that the Obama administration dropped as part of the 2015 nuclear agreement negotiated with Tehran by the US and five other countries.

Trump will next have to deal with these decisions in mid-May.

Trump, however, issued different sanctions on Friday that targeted Iran for human rights abuses and ballistic missile development.

The Treasury Department’s action hits 14 Iranian officials and companies and businessmen from Iran, China and Malaysia, freezing any assets they have in the US and banning Americans from doing business with them.
