Story highlights

President Trump has often accused the Rouhani government of reneging the deal, terming it as the "worst and one-sided transaction.

Iran president Hassan Rouhani today warned the US against pulling out the nuclear deal asserting that the Trump administration would "regret" the decision.

"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 said.

President Trump has repeatedly said he favours pulling out the nuclear deal which is jointly signed in 2015 by the European Union and P5+1 countries namely China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States and non-UNSC member Germany.

Under the agreement, Iran is supposed to dismantle its nuclear arsenal, however, President Trump has often accused the Rouhani government of reneging the deal, terming it as the "worst and one-sided transaction".

"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," Rouhani said indicating a tit-for-tat response.
