World nations stand with Iran on JCPOA: President Rouhani

President Hassan Rouhani says the 2015 nuclear agreement benefits the entire region and the world, warning that any attempt to damage the deal will backfire.

According to Press TV, speaking at the last meeting of his cabinet on Sunday, Rouhani rejected claims by US President Donald Trump and opponents of the Islamic Republic who have described the accord, officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), as the “worst deal ever” and accused Iran of having deceived others.

“What is important about the JCPOA is the issue of understanding and a win-win situation,” he said.

“Certainly, the JCPOA serves and will serve the interests of the country, region and the entire world and anyone who wants to damage the JCPOA will hurt himself and his country,” he added.

The president also warned that if the US stands against the deal, the whole world will stand up to the US, contrary to four years ago when Iran was alone.

“Today, if anyone wants to take a measure against Iran regarding the JCPOA, all [countries] will be with us and against the one who wants to weaken the JCPOA,” Rouhani pointed out.
