WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Iran will have bigger problems than ever before if it attempts to restart its nuclear program, US President Donald Trump said during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in the Oval Office on Tuesday.

"They’re not going to be restarting anything. They restart it, they’re going to have big problems. Bigger than they’re ever had before. And you can mark it down. They restart their nuclear program, they will have bigger problems than they’ve ever had before," Trump told reporters.

Trump and Macron are scheduled to discuss the Iran nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), during meetings on Tuesday.
