President Donald Trump has thrust the 2015 Iran nuclear deal back into the news by saying he will de-certify it and seek new sanctions against Iran.

After the deal was made, three Wisconsin Republicans -- U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan and Reince Priebus, who briefly served as Trump's chief of staff -- made various claims:

It was Hillary Clinton's deal and would line the pockets of Iran "with your money"; that President Barack Obama's administration said money from the deal would go to terrorism; and that the deal would subsidize Iran's nuclear program.
