President Donald Trump threatened “the official end of Iran” in a tweet days earlier.
Iran’s top diplomat has rejected President Donald Trump's recent threat, saying it was he whose days were numbered.
"A few days ago, he said, 'Iran will end'; Iran will see his end, but he will never see the end of Iran," Zarif added. The White House argued that the agreement did not go far enough to stop Iran from allegedly funding militant groups and developing ballistic missile technology, and has laid out intense sanctions designed to sabotage the Islamic Republic's ability to trade with other countries. A year since Washington's pullout, Tehran has begun to reconsider its own commitment to the accord, and the U.S. has sounded the alarm of a supposed heightened threat against U.S. interests in the region.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed Tuesday that the briefings were about "40 years of unprovoked aggression from the Iranian regime and to explain the prudent steps we’re taking to deter violence, protect American interests, and support the brave Iranian people." Though Zarif himself recently returned from a short-lived resignation, Trump's position has also become more precarious in recent weeks. A growing number of legislators, mostly Democrats, have raised the prospect of impeaching the president, accusing him of soliciting help from Russia in winning the 2016 election and obstructing the subsequent investigation into his alleged misdeeds.
