By Michael Levenson GLOBE STAFF OCTOBER 12, 2017
Disavowing the Iran nuclear deal would destabilize the region and isolate the United States, former secretary of state John F. Kerry warned Thursday, a day before President Trump may decertify the agreement that Kerry negotiated in 2015.
It is reckless, it is dangerous, it is irresponsible for the United States of America the proponent of this agreement, the chief negotiator of this agreement to turn around under a new president and say, I dont like it, Kerry told attendees at HUBweek, an innovation-themed festival cosponsored by local institutions and businesses, among them The Boston Globe. In his talk, Kerry also blasted the Trump administration for withdrawing from the Paris climate accord that he helped negotiate.

At points, the 73-year-old former Democratic nominee for president sounded like the candidate who once barnstormed the country, as he gave long, animated answers, and lamented the plight of Americans working harder and making less. But his strongest comments came in defense of the Iran deal, which he spent two years negotiating with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif before it was signed by Iran and six other nations.
Kerry warned that backing away from the accord would hasten the potential for conflict with Iran and move the Middle East in a less stable direction.
