Hassan Rouhani, president of Iran, wants to widen political influence in his country through the nuclear deal. However, the agreement with world powers causes political tensions in Iran as critics condemn it.

Iran has stopped dismantling centrifuges in two uranium enrichment plants, state media reported on Tuesday, days after conservative lawmakers complained to President Hassan Rouhani that the process was too rushed.

A committee of Iran's conservative-dominated parliament gave its support on Sunday to Iran's nuclear agreement with world powers on condition there would be no foreign inspections of military sites and no curbs on developing its missile program.
