World will change if Trump nixes JCPOA, says German foreign minister

The German foreign minister also said that he was deeply concerned about Trump’s possible decision to quit the JCPOA.

 German foreign minister has warned that "the world will change" if US President Donald Trump decides to ditch the landmark nuclear accord between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries.

German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel was quoted as saying by German news agency DPA on Sunday.

“That is a great danger for us because if the United States of America takes that course then the world will change,”  Gabriel said.

The German foreign minister also said that he was deeply concerned about Trump’s possible decision to quit the JCPOA, adding that treating Iran as if it was developing nuclear weapons would result in “nothing” good.

He slammed the US administration for efforts to replace “the rule of law with the law of the strongest.”

However, Sigmar expressed his country’s resolve to remain committed to the historic deal.

Trump is reportedly planning to announce that he will “decertify” the international nuclear agreement.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the Islamic Republic would give a “response fitting” any stance adopted by the US president on the nuclear agreement.
