Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned Tuesday that the country could “face problems” if President Trump pulls the U.S. out of the nuclear deal, but they will be short-lived.

“It is possible that we will face some problems for two or three months, but we will pass through this,” Rouhani said at a petroleum conference in Tehran Tuesday, marking the first official Iranian comment on Trump’s impending announcement.
