US President Trump will refuse to certify to Congress the nuclear deal with Iran, as part of broad new strategy against Tehran, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was quoted by CNBC network as saying Friday. 

The plan includes a diplomatic push to persuade US allies to negotiate a new agreement that would effectively supplement the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. 

Support from Congress will "strengthen" the diplomatic push to bring US partners on board, according to Tillerson. 

He said discussions with Europeans have been ongoing for months, and he even broached the subject with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly last month.
