Tillerson said Trump would give the US Treasury broad powers to impose "specific" sanctions on Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
But Tillerson said that Tramb's declaration of non-ratification of Iran's commitment to the agreement does not mean America's withdrawal from it.
"Trump wants Congress to tighten policy toward Iran by requiring it to allow more access to its nuclear sites," he said.
This will put Congress de facto on the front line, where parliamentarians will have 60 days to decide whether or not to reinstate the sanctions that have been lifted since 2015.
Tillerson said he discussed with his Iranian counterpart the possibility of concluding a new agreement along with the 2015 agreement dealing with
the ballistic missile program.
"We believe that the agreement is weak and does not provide answers to many important questions," he said,
speaking of the possibility of a new agreement in the future that does not replace, but complement, the current agreement.
"What we propose is what we think is the best way to improve this agreement, and if we can not, we can finally withdraw from the agreement," he said.
Tillerson confirmed that the president's message would be "Let us try to improve this agreement."
The US administration wants to repeal the timetables set out in this agreement, under which the Iranian nuclear program is gradually lifted from 2025.
On the other hand, Tillerson announced that Trump would impose targeted sanctions on officials of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, but would not classify it as a terrorist organization.
"We have seen that there are certain risks and complexities associated with the classification of a whole country's army, as a terrorist organization" he said. Instead, sanctions would be imposed "targeting the funding structures themselves and specific individuals, and penalizing persons who support such activities".
