Donald Trump Out of Iran's Nuclear Agreement, Here's the World Response

Donald Trump has decided to pull the United States out of Iran's nuclear deal. The 45th President of the United States also reiterated that it would re-impose sanctions against Tehran.

Under the nuclear deal signed by Iran and a number of world powers, namely the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China and the European Union, Tehran will reduce its uranium enrichment and promise not to pursue nuclear weapons.

Instead of Iran's nuclear deal, international sanctions against the Mullahs will be lifted. It allows Iran to sell its oil and gas to the world.

The UN watchdog team has repeatedly insisted that Iran abides by the nuclear deal.

However, the opposite attitude is shown Donald Trump. According to him, the Iranian nuclear deal or also known as the Comprehensive Action Plan of Composite (JCPOA) is "a horrible and unilateral agreement that should never be realized."

In response to Donald Trump's announcement that pulled the United States out of Iran's nuclear deal, President Hassan Rouhani said Washington's move was unacceptable and that it would negotiate with other countries that signed the deal.

After the signing of a presidential memorandum by Donald Trump on Tuesday, May 8, 2018, which confirms the US withdrawal policy out of Iran's nuclear deal, a number of parties reacted.

Here's their response:

French, German, and English

France, Germany and Britain released a joint statement denouncing the US decision to withdraw from Iran's nuclear deal.
The attitude of the three countries was reaffirmed by French President Emmanuel Macron.

"France, Germany and Britain deplore the US decision to abandon the JCPOA The nuclear non-proliferation regime is at stake We will work collectively on a broader framework, including nuclear activity, the post-2025 period, ballistic activity, and stability in the Middle East , especially in Syria, Yemen, and Iraq, "wrote President Macron on Twitter.

European Union

EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini called on the international community to defend Iran's nuclear deal.

"The EU will remain committed to full and effective implementation of the nuclear deal," Mogherini said in Brussels.

"We fully believe in the performance, competence and autonomy of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) which has published 10 reports that Iran fully fulfills its commitments."

"The removal of nuclear-related sanctions is an important part of the deal The EU has repeatedly stressed that the lifting of nuclear-related sanctions has a positive impact, not only on trade and economic ties with Iran, but also in particular, bringing important benefits to the Iranian people."

Israel

Speaking at a news conference in West Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Donald Trump's decision to pull the United States out of Iran's nuclear deal.

"Israel supports Donald Trump's courageous decision today to reject the disastrous nuclear deal with the terrorist regime in Iran."

"From the outset, Israel has opposed the nuclear deal, compared to blocking Iran's bombing path, the nuclear deal actually paved the way for Iran to a nuclear bomb warehouse, in recent years."

"The abolition of sanctions under the deal has led to poor results, not in pushing the war further, it makes it even closer."

Barack Obama

Former President Barack Obama, gave a number of points on why Donald Trump's decision was "very misleading".

"The reality is clear: the working JCPOA - is the view we share with our allies in Europe, the independent expert and the current US defense minister."

"JCPOA is in the interests of the United States that it has played a significant role in overthrowing Iran's nuclear program, and the JCPOA is a model of diplomacy that inspection and verification regimes can achieve is exactly what the United States should do in North Korea."

"As we all support diplomatic success with North Korea, leaving JCPOA at risk of losing an agreement that can be reached with Iran, a result we also pursue with North Korea."

Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia, reiterated its support for Donald Trump's policy of withdrawing from Iran's nuclear deal.

"The kingdom supports and welcomes the steps announced by the President of the United States to withdraw from the nuclear deal, and restore economic sanctions against Iran," said a statement released by the Saudi Arabian Foreign Ministry.

Two other Arab countries close to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates welcomed the decision of Donald Trump.

UN

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said he was "deeply concerned" with Donald Trump's decision. He urged the remaining parties of Iran's nuclear deal to comply with their commitments.

"It is vital that all important matters concerning the execution of the plan be addressed through the mechanism set out in the JCPOA, issues that are not directly related to the JCPOA should be dealt with without prejudice in order to maintain agreement and achievement."
