Iran says Trump cannot cause collapse of nuclear deal

ANKARA – Iran said on Tuesday President Donald Trump cannot cause its nuclear deal with six major powers to collapse.

"The nuclear deal will not collapse... Those who hope that Trump will cause its collapse, are wrong," Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said in a speech broadcast live on State TV.

In October, Trump declined to certify that Iran was complying with the nuclear agreement reached among Tehran, the United States and other powers in 2015. His decision triggered a 60-day window for Congress to decide whether to bring back sanctions on Iran.
