WASHINGTON - The United States on Wednesday threatened to impose more sanctions on Iran 'very soon' and warned Europe against doing business with Teheran, increasing pressure on the Islamic republic hours after saying it will stop complying with parts of an international agreement to curb its nuclear program.

Leading Democratic lawmakers such as Representative Adam Schiff warned that the Republican administration's moves could put the United States on the path to a war and House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi requested a briefing on Iran for members. "Now is the time for the community of nations to strongly condemn Iran's nuclear misconduct and increase pressure on the regime to comply with US demands," Morrison said, adding that Washington was not 'done' with sanctions on Iran.Morrison said the United States would move quickly against any attempt by European countries to undermine Washington's sanctions pressure on Iran.

The Trump administration says the deal, negotiated by his predecessor Barack Obama, was flawed as it is not permanent, does not address Iran's ballistic missile program and does not punish it for waging proxy wars in other Middle East countries.
