Iran’s President threatens to restart nuclear program Iran's President Hassan Rouhani has warned that the country could restart its nuclear programme "within hours" if the United States imposes new sanctions. He also said the programme would be more advanced than in 2015, when Iran curbed its nuclear activities as part of a deal with world powers. Iran has challenged the unilateral US sanctions targeting its ballistic missile programme saying it breaches the agreement. But the US says missile tests by Iran have violated a UN resolution.
