Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says US President Donald Trump’s decision to exit the Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), has isolated Washington as the majority of countries back the historic agreement, Press TV reported.
“At the UN General Assembly, we witnessed that the great majority of world leaders endorsed the JCPOA as a diplomatic achievement, which means that the US has been left isolated,” Rouhani said at a new press conference on Wednesday.
He noted that he US decision to withdraw from the JCPOA was not agreed upon by other countries.
“Except for few countries, others regarded the measure as a political mistake,” he said.
Rouhani said that the US should either rectify its mistake or continue with this wrong process.
But the US will learn from its mistake sooner or later and will return to the deal, he noted.
The Iranian chief executive warned that the US’s measures were in the interests of neither its own people nor others.
Rouhani said that Iran was in contact with its fiends, including the EU, to find channels to keep economic transactions and to support foreign companies doing business in the country.
He once again said that Iran will remain in the deal as long as it reaps benefits from it.
