Kerry satisfied with Iranian nuclear deal

US Secretary of State John Kerry said the Iran nuclear agreement “has lived up to its expectations".

Kerry said that so far Iran is “living up to it is part of this bargain and obligation.” He also acknowledged the challenges that remain between the US and Iran, as tensions between them remain high.

“Nobody pretends that some of the challenges we have with Iran have somehow been wiped away. This program was about a nuclear track and about a nuclear program,” the Wall Street Journal cited Kerry as saying.

Channels for discussion created by seeking the agreement have allowed the US to pursue other concerns with Tehran, including its activities in Syria and Yemen, he said.
