Merkel defends nuclear deal, Iran says won't 'surrender' to U.S.By Bozorgmehr Sharafedin LONDON (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel pushed back on Wednesday against Washington's rejection of the Iran nuclear deal, saying the accord helped outside powers worried about Tehran's regional role to pursue their concerns with the Islamic Republic. Iran reiterated it would not surrender to U.S. pressure and would resist U.S. "plots", following President Donald Trump's abandonment of the 2015 agreement last week. Repudiating the result of more than a decade of diplomacy, Trump complained that the deal does not cover Iran's ballistic missiles, its role in regional wars or what happens after the pact begins to expire in 2025.
