Iranian Politicians Set US Flag On Fire In Parliament

Politicians in Iran set a US flag on fire in parliament and shouted "Death to America" after President Trump pulled out of a nuclear deal.

A paper flag and a piece of paper representing the deal were set on fire the day after Mr Trump's decision.

The demonstration reflects the public anger in Iran following Mr Trump's decision which went against the advise of his European allies and some of his military advisers. 

Iran's 2015 nuclear deal imposed restrictions on its nuclear programme, in return for the lifting of most US and international sanctions. 

However, the deal came with time limits and it did not address Iran's ballistic missile programme or regional policies in Syria and elsewhere. 

Mr Trump has since referred to it as the "worst deal ever". 

He described the arrangements for a potential deal as "a horrible, one-sided deal" based on a lie.

He said that if he allowed the deal to stand, there would soon be a nuclear arms race.

Mr Trump then called Iran a "regime of great terror".

Many Iranians are worried about what Mr Trump's decision could mean for their country.

The Iranian rial (currency) is already trading on the black market at 66,000 to the dollar, although there is a government-set rate of 42,000 rials.

Many say they have not seen any benefits from the nuclear deal.

Iran's poor economy and unemployment sparked nationwide protests in December and January, which left 25 people killed and according to reports, nearly 5,000 arrested.
