Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has said that they have "not agreed to dismantle anything" under the nuclear deal signed with the world powers.
In an exclusive interview with CNN Chief National Security Correspondent Jim Sciutto, Zarif said that the White House mischaracterized the agreement by using a terminology that differed from the text agreed to by Iran in the six-month nuclear deal.
