Iran will soon announce steps to further scale back nuclear commitments - TV

Iran will announce "within hours" steps to further scale back its commitments to its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, the country's Arabic-language al-Alam TV reported on Wednesday.

The report came after the United States sanctioned a sprawling network of firms, ships and individuals allegedly directed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that supplied Syria with oil worth tens of millions of dollars.

Iranian officials appeared to give a guarded welcome to a French proposal to save the atomic pact by offering Iran about $15 billion in credit lines until the end of the year if Tehran comes fully back into compliance.
