According to Reuters, U.S. officials have already spoken with representatives from Germany, France and the U.K., as well as Israel, Japan and Iraq, on how to move forward after Trump's withdrawal from the Iran deal.

Trump's decision to pull out of the nuclear deal made good on a campaign promise that the real estate mogul had touted since he was still a presidential candidate. He has derided the deal as a capitulation to Iran, arguing that it fails to address Tehran's destabilizing activities beyond its nuclear pursuits.

But the president's move frustrated U.S. allies in Europe, as well as Iran, which accused the Trump administration of backing down from Washington's commitments.

European officials are hoping to preserve the deal in spite of the U.S. withdrawal.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani reportedly told French President Emmanuel Macron in a phone call on Wednesday that Europe would have a "very limited" opportunity to save the pact, saying that Tehran needed a guarantee that its rights under the deal would be preserved.
