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.

Ah yes, the good ole' personal responsibility trope taken to ridiculous extremes. We should all spend our lives reading EULAs and creating flowcharts to figure out if company A or B is better. Then when the company breaks the rules we need to hope our corporate enforcer is better than their corporate enforcer. This sounds so familiar.....
