US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Friday's interview with broadcast journalist Hugh Hewitt, has claimed that this warning had have nothing to do with military action, but would rather include a public thumbs-down and economic countermeasures.
US Secretary of State claimed that "the wrath of the entire world will fall upon them" should Iran pursue nuclear weapons.
Pompeo said, however, he was not talking about military action.
"When I say wrath, I mean the moral opprobrium and economic power that fell upon them. That's what I'm speaking to," US Secretary of State stressed.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Deputy FM Abbas Araghchi said on Saturday that Iran’s decision to remain in nuclear deal depends on the measures of the other signatories to the agreement.
On May 8, US President Donald Trump announced Washington’s decision to withdraw from the nuclear deal, which restricted Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for lifting the UN Security Council’s sanctions and the unilateral restrictive measures imposed by the US and the EU.
Trump also promised to re-impose economic sanctions on Iran.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the EU should provide guarantees to Tehran that its interests are taken into account to preserve the deal.
