Iran lashes out at Trump and Macron’s floating of the idea of a “new deal” that will address the future of the Iranian nuclear program and other issues.

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).
