Kerry condemns Trump's 'dangerous' Iran deal decision
Former US Secretary of State John Kerry
Washington - Al Maghrib Today
President Donald Trump is "creating an international crisis" with his "dangerous" decision to decertify the Iran nuclear deal, John Kerry, the former Secretary of State who negotiated the agreement, said Friday.
"It endangers America's national security interests and those of our closest allies," Kerry said of the move by Trump, who has long criticized the agreement, which is aimed at curbing Tehran's nuclear program.
In a speech pocked with grievances dating to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Trump railed against the "Iranian dictatorship, its sponsorship of terrorism, and its continuing aggression in the Middle East and all around the world."
While he threatened to rip up the 2015 agreement, he stopped short of doing so for now, instead taking the procedural step of "decertifying" it, leaving its fate in the hands of the Republican-controlled Congress.
Kerry called on the legislature to stand in Trump's way, saying that "the stakes are enormous for Congress."
"That means rejecting president's plan and the legislative maneuvers being contemplated that would unravel the agreement once and for all," he said.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led hisGMT 09:22 2018 Monday ,22 January
