President Hassan Rouhani said today that Iran would remain committed to the 2015 nuclear deal if its interests were protected, while his foreign minister hoped the pact could be redesigned without Washington as a member.

The U.S. withdrawal from the accord on Tuesday was a ‘violation of morals’, Rouhani said in remarks carried by state television.

‘If the remaining five countries continue to abide by the agreement, Iran will remain in the deal despite the will of America,’ he said.
