Hillary Clinton called President Trump's decision to disavow the Iran nuclear deal a "major mistake" and described the decision as part of an impulsive pattern that "could prove to be dangerous."
Clinton told BBC News in an interview that was taped on Friday that Trump's announcement that same day could lead to a "very dangerous" situation. Trump's decision on Friday means that Congress has 60 days whether to reimpose economic sanctions on Iran.
"There is no evidence that on the nuclear program Iran has cheated in the agreement that the UK and other powers entered into with Iran," she said. "Basically for political reasons or for personal reasons, it's unclear which he is basically throwing open the door to Iran's nuclear program one more time. I think that is very dangerous."
Clinton's successor as secretary of state under former President Barack Obama, John Kerry, led negotiations that resulted in the 2015 deal.
The BBC interviewer asked Clinton, who lost to Trump in the 2016 presidential election, whether Trump was endangering world peace.
"He is behaving in an impulsive way that confuses people which I think is not good for the stability of the world," Clinton responded. "There could be accidental interpretations of his tweets and bellicose statements that could prove to be dangerous so yes."
