Iran says Tillerson firing shows US ‘determined’ to quit nuclear deal

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s sacking shows that Washington is set on quitting the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers, Iran’s deputy foreign minister says.

“The United States is determined to leave the nuclear deal, and changes at the State Department were made with that goal in mind — or at least it was one of the reasons,” Abbas Araqchi says in comments carried by state new agency ISNA.
