Reuters: Iran calls on world to stand up to Trump, save nuclear deal

LONDON (Reuters) - The world should stand up to Washington’s bullying behavior, Iran’s foreign minister was quoted as saying on Sunday by state media in a letter to counterparts, as the top diplomat intensifies efforts to save a nuclear deal after a U.S. exit.

U.S. President Donald Trump pulled out last month from the 2015 accord between Iran and world powers that lifted sanctions on Tehran in exchange for curbs to its nuclear program.

The remaining signatories of the deal - France, Germany, Britain, Russia and China - still see the international accord as the best chance of stopping Tehran developing a nuclear weapon and are trying to salvage it.

In a letter from Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to his counterparts last week, he asked “the remaining signatories and other trade partners” to “make up for Iran’s losses” caused by the U.S. exit, if they sought to save the deal.

Maybe people don't want to do business with Iran "death to America." Maybe Iran should try and deal constructively with America. Perhaps respecting America and treating it as an equal would be a start. They could take this to a UN tribunal for resolution. After all the tribunal would simply rubberstamp whatever they want. This would mean ending the conflict. Iran isn't ready to do that. They need an enemy to justify their continued existence.
