Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned the US today that it will face "severe" consequences if it decides to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers.
Rouhani said this in an address to supporters in the city of Tabriz that was broadcast on state television.
He said the Iranian people and government would "strongly resist" any plots by those sitting in the White House without elaborating except that Tehran would abide by its obligations.
Rouhani has previously said that the US will "regret if they violate the Iran nuclear deal" and that they will "see Tehran's response in less than a week."
US President Donald Trump did not confirm the nuclear agreement with Iran in January, but set May 12 as the new deadline for extending concessions. He said that he will then withdraw from the agreement if European countries do not join the US in solving the problems that he claims are the fatal flaws of the agreement.
The nuclear deal was concluded in July 2015 between Iran and the Group of Six (Germany, China, USA, France, Great Britain and Russia). The then president of the USA was Barack Obama.
The agreement limits Iran's enrichment and storage of materials that can be used to make nuclear weapons. In exchange, many sanctions on Tehran's international trade, oil and banking sectors were lifted.
