Donald Trump has stressed that the Iran nuclear agreement needs reform, and endangered the 2015 deal.
The US President broke ranks with major powers last month refusing to formally certify Iran’s compliance with the nuclear deal, meaning most sanctions on Iran were lifted in exchange for Tehran curbing its nuclear work.
Ron DeSantis, a Republican representative for Florida, claimed that if the same path is followed, Iran will become a bigger threat than North Korea within five years.
He said: “I think, as tough as the North Korea situation is right now, five to 10 years down the road, on the current course with this Iran deal, I think we’re going to be in an even more difficult situation with the regime in Tehran and their pursuit of nuclear weapons.”
Donald Trump labelled Iranian leaders “great negotiators” who “negotiated a great deal for themselves, but a “horrible deal for the US”.

The US President has been critical of the agreement which was completed by Barack Obama and world powers including Britain, Russia, France, Germany and China.
Iran said that the move from Mr Trump was an insult to Tehran and to the United Nations.
The speaker for the Islamic Consultative Assembly, Ali Larijani, said: “It seems that Mr Trump not only does not adhere to international agreements but does not feel respect for the UN and demonstrates to all countries that the US government will not adhere to any obligations.
“Iran openly announced that the nuclear weapons have no place in our military doctrine. It seems that Mr Trump because of his hostility with Mr Obama would like to destroy the agreement because of internal issues in his own country.”
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, told a group of students: “The American president’s foolish remarks against our people show the depth of America’s hostility towards the entire Iranian nation.
“America is the number one enemy of our nation.”
The warning from Mr DeSantis comes as the threat of a war with North Korea has increased as Kim Jong-un accelerates his nuclear testing, which has lead to World War 3 fears.
The US President is in China as part of his 12-day East Asia tour, in which Mr Trump aims to present a united front to stand up against the hermit kingdom’s brutal dictator.
Speaking on his tour, Mr Trump said: “The world cannot tolerate the menace of a rogue regime that threatens it with nuclear devastation.
“All responsible nations must join forces to isolate the brutal regime of North Korea-to deny it any form of support.”
