American regimes rogue, but US pres. has to prove his signature means something: Khatibzadeh
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman responds to a tweet by Republican Senator Ted Cruz, in which the latter had asserted that any future Republican president would again "tear up" the 2015 nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic.
"The world is acutely aware of what Mr. Cruz confesses: that regimes in Washington are rogue," Saeed Khatibzadeh tweeted on Monday.

Onus is on @POTUS to convince int'l community—incl all JCPOA participants—that his signature means something.
For that, "objective guarantees" needed. No one would accept anything less. https://t.co/Ax0WT9wJl2
Earlier, the Texan senator had tweeted that "it is a 100% certainty that any future Republican president will tear it (the agreement) up."
The United States left the deal in 2018 under Republican president Donald Trump.
Formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the deal had lifted the US's sanctions against the Islamic Republic in return for some voluntary changes in Tehran's nuclear energy program.
Trump also returned the coercive economic measures after bringing about Washington's departure from the JCPOA.
Therefore, Khatibzadeh added—despite the clear likelihood that any future Republican president could again suspend Washington's commitment to the JCPOA—"onus is on POTUS (president of the United States) to convince international community—including all JCPOA participants—that his signature means something."
"For that, 'objective guarantees' [are] needed. No one would accept anything less," urged the spokesman at the end.
