The Latest John Kerry cautions'new arms race is underway

"We will not allow Trump to win this psychological war", Rohani said. Drafted in response to Iran's attempts to produce a nuclear warhead, the deal restricted Iran's nuclear proliferation abilities in exchange for the removal of worldwide trade sanctions.

Mr Trump also pointed to Iran's actions in countries including Syria and Yemen.

The agreement "addresses one of the principal threats that we deal with from Iran, so if the [agreement] goes away, then we will have to have another way to deal with their nuclear weapons program", Votel said in March without going into detail.

United States sanctions related to Iran's oil exports will kick in on November 4 at the end of a "wind down period", after which large buyers such as India might come under American pressure to begin weaning themselves off Iranian oil.

After the flag burning, parliament speaker Ali Larijani said responsibility for saving the deal fell on the European Union and other world powers still in the accord.

"The Iranians had expected this for some months ..."

In an interview two weeks ago with "Fox & Friends", Trump said of Iran: "All they do is scream death to America, death to America".

Noting that Democrats, including Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, had voted against the 2015 deal, Mr Trump said that he had terminated "a bad, awful deal that should have never, ever been made".

"U.S. sanctions will target critical sectors of Iran's economy. The deal effectively cut off all potential pathways for Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon", Rice wrote.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 710, 730 chipsets' features leaked
A new leak has now confirmed that the first two products in the lineup are going to be the Snapdragon 710 and Snapdragon 730. The performance cores feature a maximum clock speed of 2.2GHz, while the efficiency ones are toned down to 1.7GHz.

The comments from Iranian parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani were made in response to Trump's decision Tuesday to end the USA participation in the Iran nuclear deal, known formally as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

In March, Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told CBS News that his kingdom would "without a doubt" develop nuclear weapons if Iran, Riyadh's arch foe, did so.

He also hinted at nuclear enrichment but in a capacity for energy use: "Nuclear energy is a necessity for the country; according to experts, in the next few years the country will need 20K megawatts of nuclear-generated electricity made by nuclear plants". "In this regard, the USA actions are even illegal", Pakzad underlined.

For his part, Obama issued a statement after Trump's announcement and condemned the move in stark terms, calling it "misguided" and "a serious mistake".

Why did the USA exit the deal? They should have posed a question within the UNSC, from where the agreement has come from, in order to check with the plans of different countries.

"I said that we will always maintain our right and our duty to take all actions as required", he says", adding that he brought up the topic in a "direct and straightforward fashion".

Lt. Cmdr. Rebecca Rebarich, a spokeswoman for the Pentagon, declined to say whether the military was stepping up protections for American forces in the region. "This decision is harmful to the USA reputation", Jean-Vincent Brisset, retired brigadier general of the French Air Force, senior research fellow at French Institute for worldwide and Strategic Affairs, said.

He predicted Iran would choose to negotiate eventually, or face consequences. "If they do there will be very severe effect". "As for the reaction of the Iranians there is deception, even rage, they call it a "betrayal", since the Americans did not respect their own engagement in the first place", Brisset stressed.
