US sees Iran working to preserve nuclear deal
None
The Trump administration's national intelligence director says the US sees Iran working to maintain last year's nuclear agreement.
Tehran's rationale is that by sticking to the deal, it gets relief from US sanctions and preserves some nuclear capabilities.
Dan Coats tells the Senate intelligence committee that the deal extended the amount of time Iran would need to produce enough material for a nuclear weapon.
He cites the Obama administration's estimates that the timeline has been delayed from a few months to about a year.
