Rumors of War - Persia

Hassan Rouhani says Iran 'committed' to nuclear deal - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Tuesday his country is committed to the 2015 nuclear deal, even though it's been abandoned by the United States. In Switzerland campaigning to save the deal, Rouhani made clear Tehran will stick to the agreements it made in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action."

Iranian diplomat arrested over alleged Paris bomb plot - UPI.com
UPI reports: "An Iranian diplomat was arrested in Germany in connection with a plot to bomb an Iranian opposition event in France. [...] Belgian authorities said the Iranian diplomat was detained in Germany on Monday as a contact of a Belgian married couple of Iranian heritage. The couple was arrested earlier by Belgian police in Brussels after they were caught with 500 grams of TATP explosive and a detonator hidden in a toiletries bag."

Comment: I think Trump's point was that Iran was not acting like a well-behaved country under a deal with much to lose, but like a belligerent country, as in exporting terrorism.
