Tehran — Donald Trump would not be able to undo world powers’ nuclear deal with Iran, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said. The 2015 accord, signed between Iran and six powers including the US, "cannot be overturned by one government’s decision", Rouhani told his cabinet on Wednesday, according to the official Islamic Republic News Agency. Trump told a pro-Israel group in the US in March that "my number one priority is to dismantle the disastrous deal with Iran". The pact, which brought the lifting of key economic sanctions in January, has allowed one of the world’s last major untapped frontier markets to open its doors to international companies as the Iranian government seeks to attract foreign investment and new technologies.
