President Donald Trump expected Tehran to leave the nuclear deal after the US withdrawal, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Wednesday. Tehran had refused to follow that plan by trying to save the deal with its remaining signatories, ISNA quoted the Iranian president as saying. “Trump played his first card, but miscalculated the second move… as Iran did not follow that plan,” Rouhani said. On Tuesday, Rouhani described Washington’s decisions to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal and move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem as historic mistakes that will isolate the US.
