Iran’s Rouhani says US ‘will regret it’ if it violates nuke deal

Tehran (AFP) – Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Monday that the United States would regret violating the nuclear deal, and that Iran would respond in “less than a week” if that happened. 

“We will not be the first to violate the accord but they should definitely know that they will regret it if they violate it,” Rouhani told a conference to mark National Nuclear Technology Day in Tehran. 

“We are much more prepared than they think, and they will see that if they violate this accord, within a week, less than a week, they will see the result.”
