Anxious world lobbies Trump on Iran nuclear deal

In public, in private, and with few exceptions, world leaders gathered at the United Nations this week are urging President Donald Trump not to follow through on his threat to derail the Iran nuclear deal.

But so far, Trump shows no sign of listening to them. And some diplomats and supporters of the agreement even worry the efforts could backfire by triggering Trump’s defiantly contrarian instincts.

The issue will take center stage on Wednesday, when Secretary of State Rex Tillerson joins a multinational meeting on the nuclear deal that will also be attended by Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, the first time the two men will meet face-to-face. The session is being held on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly.
...
"The key ones -- France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia and China are telling them that Trump would be opening a Pandora’s box to proliferation in the Middle East if he takes steps to unravel the nuclear deal and that it's not 'renegotiable,' said Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, a group that has strongly supported the deal.

She reported that Rouhani said the US would pay a price if it reneges on the deal. Which is true, but she omitted the second part which was when he explained that if the US goes back on their word they will be viewed as untrustworthy and no will enter a deal or make an agreement with the US again.

I believe that's true. Why would anyone form an agreement with the US if 45 establishes a habit of breaking agreements?
