Iran To Trump: Stay In Nuclear Deal Or "Face Severe Consequences"

Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:

President Rouhani warns that White House failure to uphold Iran nuclear deal would prompt firm reaction from Tehran.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has called on US President Donald Trump to uphold the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers, or "face severe consequences". 

In a televised speech, Rouhani said the "Iranian government will react firmly" if the White House fails to "live up to their commitments" under the agreement. 

The warning comes weeks in advance of a May 12 deadline for Trump to renew the deal.

The US president has previously said he would scrap the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which he has called the "worst deal in history", unless "a better option" is presented to him. 

[...] The landmark deal reached in Lausanne, Switzerland in April 2015 with China, Russia, France, Great Britain, Germany and the US offered Iran more than $110bn a year in sanctions relief and a return to the global economy in exchange for halting its drive for a nuclear weapon.

    If Trump starts WW3 all his supporters will just claim that Clinton would have started WW4!

    No no no, because 4 is bigger than 3. Hillary would have started WW3, then the Republicans would've started--actually, you know what, 4 was the Dems' fault, too. More specifically, Obama's.
