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.

Correct. She actually said, "They're our next door neighbors. And you can actually see Russian from land here in Alaska" [youtube.com]. She was being mocked for her near total lack of foreign policy experience, and for responding with this to a line of questioning about why specifically being next to Russia would at all aid in understanding why they were taking certain political actions at the time. She really had no clue, diplomatically, so she threw those words out there to give the impression to the base that of course a strategically important but politically nil part of Russia was visible across the Bering Strait meant that she would have the ability as Vice President to have a qualified opinion about Georgian independence. My take on it is that Gibson had a significant point to make and he did make it somewhat that Palin was unqualified to take over in the even of succession issue. It wasn't that Palin couldn't rebut it, it's that she did it in such a ham-fisted way. Thought that is arguable. So others can decide, in fact, let's go directly to the ABC News Transcript of that interview [go.com] [bolding mine]:
