Commenting on US threats to withdraw from the nuclear deal signed with Iran and the World's major powers, the Iranian government promised to deliver an "unpleasant" reaction.

Zarif Vows Strong Retaliation If US Kills Iran’s Nuke Deal

In this respect, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters in New York that "Iran has many options if the United States leaves the nuclear deal."

"The response from Iran, and in fact from the international community, to the US move would be very unpleasant for Americans," Zarif added.

The Iranian diplomat is slated to discuss US-Iran relations, regional politics in the Middle East and the future of the Iran nuclear deal on April 23 at an event hosted by Stephen Hadley and the Council on Foreign Relations. Hadley served as former US President George W Bush's national security adviser and is a member at CFR.

Meeting with senior United Nations officials is also on Zarif's agenda, IRNA reported.

US President Donald Trump has consistently called the Iran deal "horrible." In January, he announced that he would never reauthorize agreement without structural changes to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the official name for the Iran nuclear deal.

For the US to remain in the deal, the president must periodically waive nuclear sanctions against Iran that are still part of the United States legal code. Trump has until May 12 to sign those waivers and keep the deal alive.
