Iran Asks Trump To Return To The ‘Obama Nuclear Deal’

Iranian President, Hassan Rouhani, has urged the United State President, Donald Trump to go back to the ‘Iran nuclear Deal’ of 2015, adding that Trump’s proposals to Tehran would be wrong for the nation.

He made the disclosure on Wednesday in a televised speech.

Donald Trump had withdrawn as a signatory to the deal on May 8, 2018, stating that the framework was meaningless and also helped Iran spread terror in the region.

“If we could work something out that’s meaningful, not the waste of paper that the other deal was, I would certainly be willing to meet,” Trump said.

But according to Reuters, Rouhani dismissed a proposal by the Prime Minister of United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, for a new “Trump deal” aimed at resolving a nuclear row, saying it was a “strange” offer and criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump for always breaking promises.

Rouhani also alleged that the 2015 nuclear deal was for the betterment of Iran.

“This Mr. Prime Minister in London, I don’t know how he thinks. He says let’s put aside the nuclear deal and put the Trump plan in action.

“If you take the wrong step, it will be to your detriment. Pick the right path. The right path is to return to the nuclear deal.

“All of our activities are under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),” he said.

The Iran nuclear deal was an agreement reached in 2015 between Iran and the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, France, China and Germany) with the European Union (EU).

The deal , which was entered into during the Barack Obama era, would see Iran reduce its nuclear facilities, convert some of its enrichment sites to a “nuclear, physics and technology centre”, which would eventually see to the lifting of economic sanctions.
