Iran supreme leader pledges response to nuclear deal changes
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warns that the Islamic Republic will respond to any “wrong move” by the US on the nuclear deal.
“The Iranian nation has stood firmly and any wrong move by the hegemonic system on the JCPOA would draw a reaction from the Islamic Republic,” he says, according to the Iranian Press TV.
On Twitter, the Iranian supreme leader also lashes out at US “viciousness.”
“Every day US govt. exposes a new side of its viciousness & proves Imam Khomeini’s words true: US govt. is the great Satan,” he writes.

The nuclear deal under former US president Barack Obama saw Iran limit its enrichment of uranium in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. US President Donald Trump has said he wants to renegotiate it.
