Iranian state TV website on Wednesday quoted deputy foreign minister and senior nuclear negotiator Abbas Araghchi as saying that the "deal is breached."
He warned that Iran will come up with a "smart" reaction to the sanctions not get itself "entangled in US policies" Araghchi says Iran has prepared a list of 16 measures Iran would take against the US action.
