Iran willing to stick with deal
President Hassan Rouhani has said Iran would be willing not to abandon its nuclear deal even if the US pulls out, providing the European Union offers guarantees that Tehran would keep benefiting from the accord.
Mr Rouhani’s remarks came ahead of President Donald Trump’s decision expected later this week on whether to pull the US out of the deal between Iran and world powers.
Speaking in Mashhad, the Iranian leader said a US pullout would be a “strategic mistake”.
He said: “What we want for the deal is that it’s preserved and guaranteed by the non-americans.”
He added that in this case “then the US pullout will be OK”.
