Iran president warns of problems as Trump decision looms

AP Irans president on Tuesday warned the country could face some problems ahead of President Donald Trumps decision on whether to pull out of its nuclear deal with world powers.

Without directly naming Trump, Rouhanis remarks at a petroleum conference in Tehran represented the first official Iranian comment on the U.S. presidents overnight tweet that hed make an announcement on the deal Tuesday.

It is possible that we will face some problems for two or three months, but we will pass through this, Rouhani said.

Rouhani also stressed Iran wants to keep working with the world and constructive engagement with the world. That appeared to be a nod to Europe, which has struck a series of business deals with Iran since the landmark 2015 nuclear deal.

Trumps tweet came late on Monday night, meaning major newspapers across Iran missed the announcement for their front pages.

Irans state-run television broadcaster carried the announcement at 10 a.m. local time, and Irans state-run IRNA news agency also carried a report on it.

Overnight, Irans semi-official news agencies carried the news off Trumps tweet, while others shared foreign media reports online.

Trumps announcement, set for the 2 p.m. EST at the White House, will come after nightfall in Iran.
