Five questions about the nuclear agreement with Iran

washington - US President Donald Trump is likely to refuse to approve the nuclear agreement with Iran, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on Friday. Five questions about the unrest around the nuclear deal.

What is the nuclear agreement with Iran?

Iran promised in 2015 after negotiations with six world powers and the EU to build its own nuclear program. Tehran proved willing to allow inspections and accepted that no large amounts of enriched uranium should have anymore. This had to make the development of nuclear weapons impossible.

How does Iran respond?

'If Washington decides to withdraw from the deal, Iran has the opportunity to do that as well as other options,' said Iranian Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif (Foreign Affairs) last month.
