U.S. will lose from decision to withdraw from Iran nuclear deal: Erdoğan

They also burned a piece of paper representing the nuclear deal.

However, the United States allies have stood firmly behind the accord but they could also suffer penalties under renewed USA sanctions, removing incentives to continue to do business with Iran. It also has been common to hear it within parliament.

But Iranian hard-liners expressed joy at Mr. Trump’s decision.

But Rouhani warned that he has instructed the country’s atomic energy agency to prepare to restart enrichment of uranium at an industrial level in a few weeks’ time should the deal collapse completely.

Even after the deal, Iran continued to preserve and expand its nuclear weapons know-how for future use at the Fordow nuclear testing site, said Netanyahu.

Mattis risks being isolated by Trump’s more hardline coterie of advisors, including national security advisor John Bolton, an Iraq War-era hawk who has advocated military action in both Iran and North Korea.

Trump added the deal is was “one-sided” and “not appropriate”, and that he’s waiting to see how Iran will respond – but he expects resistance at first.

Trump’s threats regarding the nuclear deal have influenced Iran to consider all possible outcomes, including a JCPOA without the USA, but which might still include some European allies, China and Russian Federation.

Last month, he said the deal allowed for “pretty robust” inspections of Iranian facilities.

“The deal is not dead”.

Russia’s acting Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russian Federation remained committed to the deal. “The American withdrawal from the nuclear deal is a major mistake and has the entire world anxious”.

Earlier, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei chastised Mr Trump, while MPs set fire to a United States flag inside parliament, shouting, “Death to America!“.

China’s foreign ministry said Beijing would defend the deal and urged parties “to assume a responsible attitude”. The deal was not “decayed, rotten”, as Mr Trump has described it.

The US withdrawal from the deal and inevitable implementation of new sanctions will prompt Iran to declare the agreement breached and withdraw from it as well.

Iran, in the 2015 pact with the world powers, had agreed to halt its nuclear programme in return for an easing of economic sanctions.

Iran has promised to ramp up its nuclear program if the deal collapses, though many feel as though the deal has done little to diminish Iran’s nuclear efforts anyway.

Similarly, U.S. concerns about Iran’s nuclear endeavors are rooted not just in a principled stand against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction but in deep unease about the Iranian regime’s broader actions and intentions.

China regrets the USA decision to leave the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) signed in 2015, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang Wednesday.

It could also strengthen the hand of hardliners at the expense of reformers in Iran’s political scene.
