US will destroy its own credibility if it withdraws from Iran nuclear deal: President Rouhani
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani took a dig at President Trump during his speech at the UN General Assembly today saying the multinational accord on Tehran's nuclear program could not be decided by "one or two countries."
The Iran nuclear accord was hammered out between six nuclear powers - Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States.
"As such it belongs to the international community in its entirety and not only to one or two countries," Rouhani said.
