“This is a deal with decayed foundations,” Trump said. “It’s a bad deal. It’s falling down.”


“If Iran threatens us in any way, they will pay a price like few countries have ever paid,” Trump said but he also said: “We will have a great shot at doing a much bigger, ‘maybe deal, maybe not’ deal.”


In a news conference broadcast on state television on Tuesday, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, said the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran was ready for some “surprising actions” if the nuclear deal was scrapped.


Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also warned Trump on Tuesday to stay in the nuclear deal or face “severe consequences”.


With a May 12 deadline looming for Trump to decide on restoring US economic sanctions on Tehran, Macron said he spoke to Trump about a “new deal” in which the United States and Europe would tackle the outstanding concerns about Iran beyond its nuclear program.
