Donald Trump won’t be able to undo world powers’ nuclear deal with Iran, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said, hours after the U.S. businessman was elected president.

The 2015 accord, signed between Iran and six powers including the U.S., “cannot be overturned by one government’s decision,” Rouhani told his cabinet on Wednesday, according to the official Islamic Republic News Agency. Trump told a pro-Israel lobbying group in the U.S. in March that “my number one priority is to dismantle the disastrous deal with Iran.”
