TEHRAN, May 4 - One of US President Donald Trump's closest allies on Capitol Hill said on Thursday that he expects the president to keep the United States in compliance with the Iran nuclear deal—at least for a short period of time.

Top Trump ally predicts Iran deal will hold up, for nowTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) – Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus and one of the lawmakers with whom Trump speaks with most regularly, told The Daily Beast that the president would likely decline to back out entirely when a deadline to certify Iran's compliance comes next week.

“I would not necessarily draw a foregone conclusion that we're out this month,” Meadows said in an interview. “To suggest that it's a foregone conclusion that we'll be out in weeks would be inaccurate based on my conversations with some of my colleagues on Capitol Hill, both Democrat and Republican.”
