Iranian FM: Trump forced to comply with US undertakings under N. deal

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif stressed that US President-elect Donald Trump has no way out but to comply with Washington's undertakings under the nuclear deal signed between Tehran and the six world powers in 2015, according to Fars News Agency.

Zarif made the remarks in a joint press conference with his Romanian counterpart Lazar Comanescu in Bucharest on Wednesday.

Asked by reporters about the victory of Republican candidate Donald Trump in the US presidential election, he said, "We don’t interfere in other countries' internal affairs. It is the US people's choice. But anyone who becomes the US president, he/she should gather a correct understanding of the realities of the world and our region, and face them with realism and pragmatism."

Based on the July 2015 nuclear deal, the US and other world powers have accepted to remove the nuclear-related sanctions against Iran and take steps to help Iran benefit from the agreement, including moves to facilitate trade and banking transactions for Iran.
