UN atomic watchdog says Iran complying

The UN's atomic watchdog says Iran is implementing its commitments under the nuclear deal signed with international powers.

Iran is continuing to implement its nuclear commitments under a deal with major powers, the UN atomic watchdog policing the deal says, a day after President Donald Trump said the US was pulling out of the accord.

"Iran is subject to the world's most robust nuclear verification regime under the JCPOA, which is a significant verification gain," International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Yukiya Amano said in a statement, using the deal's official name, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

"As of today, the IAEA can confirm that the nuclear-related commitments are being implemented by Iran," he said, adding that the IAEA was "closely monitoring developments" related to the deal.
