Iran’s president has warned US counterpart Donald Trump that pulling America out of the nuclear deal with world powers would be a “historic regret”.
Hassan Rouhani made the comments in the city of Sabzevar while on a tour of Iran’s Razavi Khorasan province.
Mr Rouhani said: “If (the US) opts to pull out of the nuclear deal, it will soon realise that this decision will become a historic regret for them.”
Mr Rouhani also assured Iranians that “no change will occur in our lives next week” regardless of Mr Trump’s decision.
Mr Trump faces a self-imposed May 12 deadline over the 2015 nuclear deal, which he has criticised.
Iran has faced economic trouble in recent weeks, with some analysts blaming the uncertainty surrounding the accord.
