Local Editor
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned the United States of facing "historic regret" if it pulls out of the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and Western powers.
Rouhani's Sunday remarks were made in Sabzevar, Razavi Khorasan Province northeastern Iran.
'The US cannot do anything serious against Iran,' said Rouhani, adding' The US has always caused trouble for Iran, but has never prevailed. The US will make a mistake again if it quits the JCPOA; it will soon see that the mistake will be a historic one.'
'I explicitly announce that the required instructions have been issued to the executive parts of the country, the national atomic energy organization, and talking to the nuclear authorities of the country, the necessary orders have been issued in the economic part, as well.'
Rouhani further noted that with the JCPOA, Iran wanted to tell the world that Iran was peace-seeking and the sanctions were a mistake, and the world should retreat from the mistake.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump is to decide whether to stay in the JCPOA or unilaterally withdraw from it. He has demanded some amendments in the deal in order to stay in it.
For its part, the UK Prime Minister's Office issued a statement to announce that the UK, Germany and France believe that the JCPOA should be kept.
Additionally, EU foreign policy Chief Federica Mogherini repeatedly demanded that the signatories of the JCPOA stay committed to it.
