“If America leaves the nuclear deal, this will entail historic regret for it,” Rouhani said. The Iranian President also claimed that he has “a plan to counter any decision Trump may take and we will confront it.”
President Trump has been adamant that the Iran deal was a mistake and that the U.S.
The United Nations and countries like France and Germany are trying to pressure the United States to stay in the deal, but just last week, Israel revealed that its Mossad intelligence agency discovered hundreds of Iranian documents outlining an aggressive nuclear weapons program which existed as far back as 2003.
France’s foreign minister has insisted the Iran nuclear deal “is not dead” and vows that French President Emmanuel Macron would call Iranian Rouhani to discuss how to salvage the agreement.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian criticized the Trump administration for its “isolationist, protectionist and unilateral logic.”
“This is a break with international commitment and France deeply regrets this decision,” Le Drian told French radio station RTL.
“We will bring businesses together in the coming days to try and preserve them as much as possible from the US measures.”
