Concurrent with French President Emmanuel Macron's trip to the United States, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has warned Europe about going over Iran's head to reach a deal with Washington regarding the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Macron appears to be offering US President Donald Trump a “new deal” to persuade him to remain in the nuclear deal, which was achieved in 2015 between Iran and the P5+1 countries (United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, China and Germany).
