Iranian president Hassan Rouhani is telling European powers not to copy the United States by undermining Tehran’s strained nuclear pact — but also pledged that Tehran would not seek nuclear weapons whether or not the deal survived.
Britain, France and Germany launched a dispute mechanism in the deal this month, accusing Iran of violating the deal that has become increasingly frayed since Washington pulled out in 2018 and reimposed sanctions on Tehran.
Rouhani warned on his website, quote–
”I am emphasizing that if the Europeans make a mistake and violate the deal, they will be responsible for the consequences of their actions.”
Iran has gradually rolled back its commitments under the 2015 deal–
arguing that it has a right to do so because European countries failed to protect it from U.S. sanctions.
