Iran president warns of 'problems' as Trump decision looms

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s president on Tuesday warned the country could face “some problems,” just hours before President Donald Trump was to announce whether he is pulling America out of the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers.

Without directly naming Trump, Hassan Rouhani’s remarks at a petroleum conference in Tehran represented the first official Iranian comment on the U.S. president’s overnight tweet that he’d make an announcement on the deal Tuesday.

“It is possible that we will face some problems for two or three months, but we will pass through this,” Rouhani said.

Rouhani also stressed Iran wants to keep “working with the world and constructive engagement with the world.” That appeared to be a nod to Europe, which has struck a series of business deals with Iran since the landmark 2015 nuclear deal.

Trump will trash this deal. He does not accept Obama deals, nor modify them. He guts them completely.

Everyone who occupies the White House has one core central agenda and value.

Dismantling everything Obama did is the sociopathic focus of this megalomaniac.

He has no problem watching the world and America burn in the process. TPP and Asia focus, Paris Climate Accords, NATO, international agreements and the full faith and credit of the USA - who knew "American carnage" would be his dream?

McCain is reminding us that this is ALL personal.

We need to start taking it personally, too.

by inflicting damage, chaos and cruelty. And loves seeing his name in lights, no matter what the reason, much as he's staging his decision today.

This will really show Kim he can't trust Trump. I don't think we can trust Kim either, but I hope I am wrong about him.
