Iran is Willing to Fight to the Last: Clashes Between Israelis and Iranians in Syria Might Lead to War
Meanwhile, Iran's President, Hassan Rouhani, said that he's ready for an aggressive response but will first hold discussions with the remaining parties of the deal. European countries stated that they'd like to preserve the existing terms of the document. And aren't planning to follow US' example and withdraw.
Benjamin Netanyahu, on the contrary, supported Trump's decision. And even expressed hope that it will lead to the fall of the Iranian government.
Hassan Rouhani: "I ordered the Iranian government to be prepared to act if necessary. So that we are prepared to begin industrial enrichment without any limitations. For now, we'll postpone this for a few weeks and hold negotiations with our allies, other signatories of the deal. Our decision depends on whether or not our national interests are preserved".
Federica Mogherini, High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy: "The nuclear deal with Iran is key to the security of the region, Europe, and the world in general. As long as Iran continues to hold its obligations, as has been the case so far, the EU will remain devoted to fully and effectively fulfilling the terms of the deal. We fully trust the IAEA that has published 10 reports certifying that Iran has fully complied with its commitments. The lifting of sanctions is an essential part of the agreement".
France, Germany, and the UK regret the US decision to withdraw from the deal. Nuclear non-proliferation is at stake.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister: "As we found out last week, after signing the deal, Iran concealed its secret nuclear program. So, if we leave the agreement as is, it will lead to a catastrophe in our region and to a catastrophe for world peace. This is why Israel thinks that President Trump took a historic step. And this is why Israel is thankful to him".
