Iran rejects Trump-Macron nuclear proposals
President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday that the US is now accused of violating its commitments with regards to the JCPOA and Iran is not to accept to add or omit even a simple sentence from the JCPOA.
President Rouhani made the remarks at the end of his trip to East Azarbaijan in Tabriz on Wednesday.
'If Europe minds to please Trump, they should mind its costs and avoid putting their hands in the pocket of noble Iranian people, 'he said.
The US presence in the region is the root cause of instability, but Iran attaches importance to protecting lives of people in the region, President Rouhani said.
He also dismissed US President Donald Trump as a "tradesman" not qualified to comment on global treaties.
"You don't have any background in politics," he said. "You don't have any background in law. You don't have any background on international treaties."
Mr Trump has said the US will reimpose sanctions on Iran suspended under the deal on 12 May unless Congress and European powers fix its "disastrous flaws".
The five other parties to the accord - France, the UK, Germany, China and Russia - see it as the best way to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon and want Mr Trump to continue waiving the sanctions while they try to address his concerns.
