US set to extend Iran nuclear cooperation sanctions waivers

The Trump administration is poised to renew several waivers on U.S. sanctions against Iran that will allow Russian, European and Chinese companies to continue to work on Iran's civilian nuclear facilities without drawing American penalties. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was expected to sign off on the waiver extensions Monday, according to current and former officials familiar with the matter. The officials said Pompeo had opposed extending the waivers that are among the few remaining components of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal that the administration has not cancelled.
