On Tuesday, Iran struck back with a humiliating slap-down, insisting that France butt out of the deal because Tehran could not trust the nation to honor its commitments. Iranian diplomats even delayed the start of the day's talks in Vienna on the agreement, insisting that it was unnecessary for the French to be in the room.
