DUBAI (Reuters) - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Sunday that, if its interests were protected, Tehran would remain committed to its 2015 nuclear deal, which his foreign minister hoped could be redesigned without Washington.

Tuesday’s U.S. withdrawal from the accord was a “violation of morals”, Rouhani said in remarks carried by state television.

“If the remaining five countries continue to abide by the agreement, Iran will remain in the deal despite the will of America,” he said during a meeting with Sri Lanka’s president.

If the deal holds, then if Pompeo can negotiate anything in return for the US lifting the restored sanctions, then Trump will claim victory for extracting more than Obama. Everyone will ask whether Trump was smart to do what he did.

Boeing and Airbus are the only real providers of jumbo jets, and US sanctions will prevent the sale of any of their products to Iran. And the US may be able to prevent an Embraer sale of their smaller commercial aircraft.

rest of the EU, Iran itself, etc.

Trump broke the agreement, Iran did not at all. If the US tries to enforce sanctions on basically the rest of the world, it will not end well for us.

I fully expect Israel to try skullduggery in an attempt to provoke Iran as well.

What a bloody mess. Fuck Trump and Netanyahu.
