TEDPIX has been on the rebound after days of decline following US President Donald Trump's announcement about the fate of the nuclear deal Iran signed with world powers in 2015, according to Financial Tribune.

On Friday, Trump said he would waive nuclear sanctions against Iran for another 120 days. In an apparent response, TSE stocks began to gain to help the benchmark reexperience the record highs reached last month.

Trump warned European allies and Congress, however, they had to work with him "to fix the disastrous flaws” in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or face a US exit from the deal, Reuters reported.

Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif reacted to Trump by saying that the JCPOA is not renegotiable.
