Rouhani said that Iran has always complied with the nuclear deal and is going to stay in the accord despite the US pullout. The Iranian Foreign Ministry was instructed to hold talks on the nuclear deal with the EU, Russia and China within the next few weeks.
The President called Trump’s decision to quit the agreement “a historic experience for Iran,” adding that Washington had never fulfilled its commitment as part of the 2015 international agreement.
Earlier on Tuesday, Trump announced that Washington will “withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal" and that sanctions will be imposed against Tehran. The US President argued that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) didn’t prevent Iran from enriching uranium and would’ve caused a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.
“Today’s action sends a critical message: the US no longer makes empty threats. When I make promises, I keep them,” Trump said.

US President Donald Trump has announced the withdrawal of the United States from the Iran nuclear deal.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking at the White House, he also announced the re-establishment of US sanctions against Iran.
The decision is likely to raise the risk of conflict in the Middle East, upset America's European allies and disrupt global oil supplies.
Mr Trump described the deal as "defective at its core," and said that he is ready, willing and able to negotiate a new deal with Iran when it is ready.
"I am announcing today that the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal," Mr Trump said at the White House. "In a few moments, I will sign a presidential memorandum to begin reinstating US nuclear sanctions on the Iranian regime. We will be instituting the highest level of economic sanctions."
He called Tehran the world's leading state sponsor of terror, and decried its influence in the Middle East.
