Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday warned European nations that have accused the country of breaking the Iran nuclear deal. The leader said that currently only American soldiers are in danger, but pending European countries’ decision on whether or not to impose economic sanctions on Iran, European soldiers could also face a threat. In response, Iran breached the deal’s restrictions on enriching Uranium, despite European countries’ protests. He said that if the U.S. softened economic sanctions on Iran, it would likely cease enriching Uranium to the standards set by the deal. Abbas Mousavi, a spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry, said Tehran is prepared to retaliate if the European nations impose economic sanctions.
