The UN's International Atomic Energy Agency says that Iran is still in compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, a 2015 deal aimed at preventing Tehran from building nuclear weapons in exchange for economic incentives, the AP reports.
Why it matters: President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the deal last May, calling it "defective at its core."
