    US envoy: Iran deal compliance so far 'strong'

    Washington's UN ambassador Samantha Power said Monday that compliance with the Iran nuclear deal was so far "strong", but warned Tehran was still helping fuel conflict and remained a threat., AFP reports.

    "What this deal does if implemented - and so far the implementation has been strong but it's very early days - is it cuts off the pathways to a nuclear weapon and it gives us much more visibility into Iran's programme than we had before," Power told students during a visit to Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

    She added later that "Iran of course is still a threat. Iran is supporting terrorism. Iran is supporting parties to conflict like the Assad regime (in Syria)".
