Iran will not fall into the “trap” that the Trump administration is attempting to set in order to force the collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal, President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday.
The U.S. “ploy today is to behave in such a way as to have Iran say ‘I am walking away’" from the agreement, Rouhani told his cabinet, according to the state-run Iranian Students News Agency. Iran “needs to be aware not to fall into their trap,” he said.
