Iran to Trump: Nuclear Pact Is ‘Not Renegotiable’
13, 2018
TEHRAN — Iranian officials, responding to President Trump’s call to revise the nuclear agreement, said they would reject any changes to the 2015 deal, saying it was "not renegotiable." Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, wrote on Saturday in a message on Twitter
that the nuclear agreement between Iran, the United States and other world powers was "a solid multilateral agreement" that President Trump was "maliciously violating."
Trump’s policy & today’s announcement amount to desperate attempts to undermine
a solid multilateral agreement, maliciously violating its paras 26, 28 & 29.
Mr. Trump on Friday, once again, reluctantly signed waivers crucial to keep the agreement in place, but he also demanded
that European allies agree to rewrite the nuclear deal within 120 days or else he would kill it.
Mr. Trump said that They fear the local currency could devaluate even further and prices could rise, if that is to happen.
Mr. Trump also announced new sanctions, including against the chief of Iran’s hard-line dominated judiciary, Ayatollah Sadegh
Amoli-Larijani, for his involvement in punishing protesters who participated in anti-government rallies earlier this month.
Mr. Trump’s ultimatum comes at a time when Iran’s economy is struggling,
and the nuclear deal has not delivered on the promises made by Iran’s president, Hassan Rouhani, for economic improvement.
One hard-liner, Hamidreza Taraghi, said he was not afraid that Mr. Trump’s ultimatum would lead to a collapse of the agreement.
