‘Death to America!’: Iranian lawmakers burn US flag in response to Trump’s decision (VIDEO)

Angry MPs joined in the fiery spectacle Wednesday with anti-American chants, while also adding a piece of paper, reportedly representing the nuclear deal, to the flames. In footage of the event, MPs from across the parliamentary hall can be seen rushing to the pulpit with their fists in the air.

Trump’s controversial decision sparked outrage across the international community and, in particular, among his allies in Europe who have vowed to adhere to the original agreement.

“If necessary, we can begin our industrial enrichment without any limitations,” the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said, echoing similar comments from the speaker of the parliament, Ali Larijani earlier on Wednesday.

“Until implementation of this decision, we will wait for some weeks and will talk with our friends and allies and other signatories of the nuclear deal, who signed it and who will remain loyal to it. Everything depends on our national interests,” Rouhani added.
