Reuters - It would be a �severe mistake� for Iran to stay in the nuclear deal if the U.S. leaves it, a senior official said on Tuesday, a day after President Hassan Rouhani said Tehran could remain in the deal even if the United States drops out.

�If the United States leaves the JCPOA (Iran�s nuclear deal), they should know that would be the end of the JCPOA,� Mohammad Javad Larijani, Head of the Iranian Judiciary�s Human Rights Council, was quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency.
