Rouhani says Iran won’t let Trump rip up nuclear deal

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said on Tuesday he would not let US President-elect Donald Trump rip up a global nuclear deal, warning of unspecified repercussions if Washington reneges on the agreement.

Trump had said during campaigns for the White House that he would scrap Iran’s pact with world powers – under which Tehran agreed to curb its nuclear program in return for lifted sanctions – describing it as “the worst deal ever negotiated”.

“The Americans will try to put us under pressure as much as they can. But we have to resist this and find answers and we will find answers,” Rouhani said, during an address at the University of Tehran.
