Iran's supreme leader threatens to shred nuclear deal if US quits

The Iranian supreme leader on Wednesday warned that his country would shred its multinational nuclear deal should the United States decide to quit and criticized Europe's weak defense of the landmark agreement.


Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued his stark warning just days after US President Donald Trump reiterated threats to end his commitment to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, an international accord struck by China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the US, Germany and the European Union that limits Iran's nuclear program in exchange for slackened sanctions.
