Obama To pursue UN Sanctions Despite Iran Nuclear Deal

US President Barack Obama has vowed to pursue fresh UN sanctions against Iran despite Tehran's nuclear deal with Turkey and Brazil.

President Obama telephoned Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan to say Iran's moves still "do not build confidence". Brazil and Turkey earlier urged fellow members of the UN Security Council to heed a deal they struck with Iran over its nuclear programme.

The deal would see Tehran trade uranium for ready-enriched reactor fuel. Many Western countries have long suspected Iran is trying to make a nuclear weapon, but Tehran insists its programme is for purely peaceful, energy purposes.

President Obama told Mr Erdogan there were still "fundamental concerns" about Iran's nuclear programme.
