Iran nuclear deal: European powers try to save agreement after US exit
European powers say they are committed to the Iran nuclear deal, after President Donald Trump announced the US was withdrawing from the agreement.
The UK, France and Germany urged the US not to obstruct its implementation.
They said they would work with the other signatories to the 2015 deal - Russia and China - which have stressed continuing support for the accord.
In response, Iran said it would restart uranium enrichment, if the agreement could not be salvaged.
In a statement, President Hassan Rouhani said: "I have ordered the foreign ministry to negotiate with the European countries, China and Russia in the coming weeks.
