U.S. President Donald J. Trump signs a National Security Presidential Memorandum as he announces the withdrawal of the United States from the Iran nuclear deal during a "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action" event in the Diplomatic Reception Room of the White House on Tuesday, May 08, 2018 in Washington, DC.the U.S. may no longer be able to monitor Iran's nuclear capabilities if the Islamic Republic pulls out of the nuclear deal completely.

"That's the real issue about confidence in no-nuclear weapons program," he added. "If we lose that, we would have lost a very, very important tool."Geopolitical tensions between Washington and Tehran, among other escalations in the Middle East, have contributed to volatility in oil prices.
