Iran promised to 'surprise' Donald Trump, if he annuls nuclear deal

Iranian foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif has promised to spring a ‘surprise’ on United States President-elect Donald Trump if he annuls a nuclear agreement between the US and six world powers in 2015.

Mohammad Javad today reminded Trump that the nuclear deal is an international agreement and it is in the best of everybody’s interest to stick to it.

"As I have said before, president-elect Trump likes surprises and we will make him surprised," said Javad he said when met after the extraordinary meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers here today.

Mohammad Javad said would adopt a wait-and-see attitude for now and it is up to the U.S to address the concerns raised by the international communities over the nuclear deal.

"Our policy remains the same. Its for the U.S to address the international community’s concerns, as it seemed many are concerned over the statements that were made in course, particularly during the campaign on Pakistan and on other issues. But, we will wait and see.

"We have our grievances with the U.S. Those grievances existed even during the previous administration, the Obama administration because we believed they had a lacklustre administration to the nuclear deal," he said.

He also said that Iran is not worried should Trump decide to ditch the deal as Iran has other options.

"Well, I'm not worried. Whatever he does to the nuclear deal, we are not worried because we have our own options. We believe it is in the interest of everybody to stick to the deal and most importantly, it is an international agreement, it is not a bilateral agreement between Iran and the United States," he added.

The deal was negotiated by Iran and the U.S, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, two years ago.

The deal, enshrined in a legally binding UN resolution, imposed limits on the Iranian nuclear program in exchange for lifting UN economic sanctions.

During the US presidential campaign, Trump had repeatedly bashed the nuclear deal and said his number one priority would be to annul or renegotiate the deal.
