Iran's Rouhani: I Won't Allow Trump to 'Tear Up' Nuclear Deal

by Ali Arouzi


TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's president fired a warning shot at Donald Trump Tuesday, cautioning the President-elect that he would not allow him to "tear up" Iran's landmark nuclear deal with world powers.

Hassan Rouhani's comments come as Iran's hardliners find themselves emboldened by Trump's tough talk on Iran and his promise to can the "catastrophic" deal.

According to analysts, hardliners are hopeful this tougher stance will mean an end to the recent rapprochement with the United States, their historic enemy.

"Whatever plans he has, it will be revealed later," Rouhani said of Trump, according to the Associated Press. "He may desire to weaken the nuclear deal. He may desire to rip up the deal. Do you suppose we will allow this? Will our nation allow this?"

The Iranian president never mentioned Trump by name, referring to him only as "some man ... elected in the U.S."
