Iran President Hassan Rouhani has said that his country would respond in kind to any breach by the United States of the 2015 nuclear deal after the House of Representatives passed a new sanctions bill. <br/><br/>Mr Rouhani said at a cabinet meeting today that if the US steps over part of the agreement, he will do the same, and if they step over the entire deal, he will do the same too. <br/><br/>The Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Affairs Committee said it would hold an extraordinary session on Saturday to discuss its response.<br/> <br/>The US House passed a new sanctions bill yesterday targeting Iran's Revolutionary Guards, as well as Russia and North Korea. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the bill is very clearly a hostile measure even if it is only a compilation of previous US sanctions in the non-nuclear fields.<br/><br/>The UN and other signatories to the nuclear deal have agreed that Iran has stuck to its commitments, which has been reluctantly accepted by the administration of President Donald Trump.
