UNITED NATIONS: French President Emmanuel Macron hit back at US President Donald Trump on Tuesday staunchly defending the “good” Iran nuclear deal saying that those who did not respect it were irresponsible.
“Renouncing it would be a grave error, not respecting it would be irresponsible, because it is a good accord that is essential to peace at a time where the risk of an infernal conflagration cannot be excluded.”
Macron said he made this clear to Trump and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani when he met them on Monday.

Man charged with threatening to kill US vice president
WASHINGTON: A federal grand jury charged a 33-year-old man with threatening to kill US Vice President JD Vance during his visit to Ohio in January, the Justice Department said on Friday.
Shannon Mathre, a resident of Toledo, Ohio, is accused of “making a threat to take the life of, and to inflict bodily harm upon” the vice president, the department said in a statement.
Mathre reportedly said he was “going to find out where he (the vice president) is going to be and use my M14 automatic gun and kill him,” according to the statement. It did not say where he made the comment.
US Secret Service agents arrested Mathre on Friday.
The threat is the latest reported incident involving Vance.
Vance said in early January “a crazy person” had tried to break into his Ohio home by hammering on the windows. The vice president and his family were not home at the time, and a 26-year-old man was taken into custody, according to US media reports.
The Justice Department said on Friday it found “multiple digital files of child sexual abuse materials” in Mathre’s possession while investigating the alleged threat against Vance.
Mathre made his initial court appearance before a US Magistrate Judge for the Northern District of Ohio on Friday.
He is in custody pending a detention hearing on February 11, the Justice Department said.
