Iran to Curtail Compliance With Nuclear Deal as Mideast Tensions Heighten VOA News Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says his country will continue to curtail its compliance with a nuclear deal unless other global powers that entered the agreement show "positive signals." Iran began reducing its commitment to the pact in May after the United States unilaterally withdrew from the accord last year and imposed more sanctions on the Islamic Republic. Speaking at a conference of Asian leaders in Tajikistan, Rouhani warned Tehran would "inevitably have to take more measures" if it doesn't get what it considers appropriate responses. "Obviously, Iran cannot stick to this agreement unilaterally," he declared. Rouhani did not elaborate on what Iran would consider positive signs. .
