The Hill: Iran says it won't accept Trump’s demands to change nuclear deal
Iran said Saturday that it won't accept President Trump's demands to change the Iran nuclear deal following the president's threat to pull out of the agreement unless allies fix the Obama-era pact's "terrible flaws."
Iran's Foreign Ministry said in a statement reported by the state-run IRNA news agency that it "will not move beyond its commitments" in the 2015 agreement and "will accept no change in the letter and spirit of the nuclear accord."
Trump said Friday that he would again waive sanctions that were lifted as part of the Obama-era agreement, but the administration said he was doing it for the last time.
