European allies regret Trump's decision on Iran deal while Israel, Saudi back it

US President Donald Trump's decision to abnadon the landmark Iran nuclear deal has shocked the world, with America's closest allies like France, Germany and the UK expressing concern over it while Iran's foes Israel and Saudi Arabia welcoming the move.

Trump yesterday announced that he would be pulling the US out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, calling the agreement "defective at its core."
British Prime Minister Theresa May, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres have all warned Trump not to scrap the deal. However, they have also conceded that the pact negotiated by former president Barack Obama is far from perfect and needs some "fixes."
In a joint statement after Trump's announcement, May, Merkel and Macron emphasised their "concern" about Trump's decision and said they would continue to adhere to the Iranian deal because it has made the world "a safer place."
The statement called on the US to ensure that the structure of the deal stay intact and "avoid taking action which obstructs its full implementation by all other parties to the deal."
The leaders also urged Iran to "show restraint in response to the decision by the US."
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said: "The US has announced that it doesn't respect its commitments."
The top European Union diplomat, Federica Mogherini, called on the international community to stick to the Iran nuclear deal
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised "courageous leadership" and "bold decision today to reject the disastrous nuclear deal with the terrorist regime in Tehran."
