Tehran has plans to respond to any move by US President Donald Trump against the 2015 nuclear agreement, President Hassan Rouhani said on Sunday.
“We have plans to resist any decision by Trump on the nuclear accord,” he said in a speech carried live on state TV.
“Orders have been issued to our atomic energy organization and to the economic sector to confront America’s plots against our country,” he told a public rally in northeast Iran.
“America would be making a mistake if it leaves the nuclear accord,” the president said.
Trump has said unless European allies rectify “flaws” in Tehran’s nuclear agreement, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, with world powers by May 12, he will refuse to extend US sanctions relief for Iran.
