It was never verified by congressional to my knowledge which would have put it on a more solid foundation. Could be wrong. But I seem to remember Iran calling this binding and many scholars saying it isn't...that a new administration could opt out.
Because it was never ratified, it means it was the prerogative of the Executive to pull out as they see fit. But no one was really saying Trump couldn't so this, just that it was stupid to do so.
