Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says his country “will continue to stick to” the nuclear deal, despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s accusation that Tehran has violated the spirit of the 2015 nuclear deal.
Rouhani made the comments in a speech late Friday night aired on state television in Iran.
Rouhani says the nuclear deal is “much more strong” than what Trump believes. He also talked about moments of historic tension between America and Iran.
Trump earlier Friday said he will not re-certify the Iran nuclear deal to Congress because the country is not living up to the spirit of the deal and has committed “multiple violations.” Trump says that if Congress can’t come up with new legislation, he will terminate the Obama-era pact.
