Jubeir said the nuclear deal had shortcomings, and that he agreed with Trump’s assessment that Iran was working to destabilise the region and was funding militant organisations. This is what President Trump has said, and we are very supportive of that,” Jubeir said at a conference in London. Following Trump’s decision, US Congress has until mid-December to decide whether to reimpose economic sanctions on Tehran that were lifted under the pact. Jubeir said that new sanctions on Iran would be welcome, and that a delay could mean that by the time sanctions had impact, Iran could have already developed “a dozen” nuclear bombs. Iran says its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes and denies it has aimed to build an atomic bomb.
