Efforts to salvage the landmark nuclear agreement won't succeed unless the United States provides guarantees that it won’t renege on the deal, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said on Wednesday.

“The US President, lacking authority, is not ready to give guarantees. If the current status quo continues, the result of negotiations is clear,” Ali Shamkhani said in a tweet.
