Trump administration pledges "great strictness" on Iran nuclear deal

None

VIENNA—US President Donald Trump's administration pledged on Tuesday to show "great strictness" over restrictions on Iran's nuclear activities imposed by a deal with major powers, but gave little indication of what that might mean for the agreement.

 

The 2015 deal between Iran and six major powers restricts Tehran's nuclear programme in exchange for the lifting of international economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

 

Trump has called the agreement "the worst deal ever negotiated." His administration is now carrying out a review of the accord which could take months, but it has said little about where it stands on specific issues.

 

The Trump administration also gave few clues about any potential policy shift on Tuesday in a statement to a quarterly meeting of the UN nuclear watchdog's Board of Governors.
