Iranians take to streets over nuke deal pullout

Thousands of Iranians have taken to the streets in cities across the country to protest US President Donald Trump's decision to pull out of the nuclear deal with world powers.

The protests Friday resembled other aggressive but orderly gatherings typical under President Hassan Rouhani, who has tried for a rapprochement with the West.

But while slogans of "Death to America" were few, many Iranians are sincerely angry over Trump's decision and are siding with hard-liners who long have warned to be suspicious of the West.

Iran said it may resume uranium enrichment in a higher rate in weeks if it finds nuclear deal will not work anymore after the US pullout from the deal.
