Iran's leader: US pullout from nuclear deal leaves Trump 'lost in history'

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei sets out six conditions for Europe if it wants Iran to remain in agreement

Iran's supreme leader has said that American objections over the 2015 nuclear deal were a pretext for regime change, vowing that the US was bound to fail like "the famous cat in the Tom and Jerry" cartoon.

Speaking two days after the US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, threatened Iran with "the strongest sanctions in history", Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday that Iran could restart the nuclear activities it halted under the agreement if Europe failed to safeguard the agreement after the US pulled out.
