Iran could abandon its nuclear agreement with world powers “within hours” if the United States imposes any more new sanctions, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Tuesday.

“If America wants to go back to the experience (of imposing sanctions), Iran would certainly return in a short time — not a week or a month, but within hours — to conditions more advanced than before the start of negotiations,” Rouhani told a session of parliament broadcast live on state television.

Iran says new U.S. sanctions breach the agreement it reached in 2015 with the United States, Russia, China and three European powers in which it agreed to curb its nuclear work in return for the lifting of most sanctions.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said the new U.S. sanctions were unrelated to the Iran nuclear deal and that Iran must be held responsible for “its missile launches, support for terrorism, disregard for human rights, and violations of U.N. Security Council resolutions.”

“Iran cannot be allowed to use the nuclear deal to hold the world hostage … The nuclear deal must not become ‘too big to fail’,” Haley said in a statement on Tuesday, responding to Rouhani. …

While Charlottesville and Durham were going on.

All of this was going to happen regardless of any US action/inaction.

Iran could quit nuclear deal in 'hours' if . . .

You know, a lot can happen in "hours."

There could be nothing left of the mullahs' palace but a little dab of bacon grease.

"All of this was going to happen regardless of any US action/inaction."

Yep. All Obama's "deal" did was to funnel hundreds of billions of dollars to Iran. Money spent to further international islamic terrorism.

[hanamizu]

Does these mean the pallets of cash will be returned?

[Ingtar]

Exactly. What difference does it make? They are pursuing nuclear weapons Hell bent for leather either way.

-- Rouhani

I see they put the $150 Billion USD that Obama and Kerry gave them to use..

[Hattie]

Are they kidding? Does anyone believe Iran has not been working on nukes all along???

[lewislynn]

Oh what the hell, let's try it (sanctions) anyway.

Get caught bluffing, you lose.

[Olog-hai]

Oh, the deluded left believes it, of course. Just like they believed, while Khomeini was still around, that today’s ayatollah Khamenei was a “moderate president” back then (as BBC reported).

[Olog-hai]

And “moderate” Rouhani openly announces it, for those who hear what he said.

[Psalm 73]

"Iran could abandon its nuclear agreement with world powers..."

Or maybe we could just send them a few of OUR nukes....

[Pearls Before Swine]

Well, OK, then, take your 1.7 Billion in cargo’ed cash and go home.

—That Obama, he’s one hell of a negotiator, for the other side.

"If America wants to go back to the experience (of imposing sanctions), Iran would certainly return in a short time — not a week or a month, but within hours — to conditions more advanced than before the start of negotiations," Rouhani told a session of parliament broadcast live on state television.

All these agreements do is give the guilty party more time to develop nuclear weapons.

Here this ass-hat confirms it. Great job Obama/Kerry/Clinton... /s

[TBP]

Fine. It’s a bad deal anyway. Sanction away!

[butlerweave]

What Deal is that ? Oh wait the Obama/Kerry Deal ,LOL talk to those 2 losers
