Iran wants all parties to stick to an international nuclear deal but has "options" if that does not happen, its Foreign Minister said after the US election victory of Donald Trump, who has vowed to pull out of the pact.

Deal is not bilateral for one side to scrap: FM Trump has called the pact both a "disaster" and "the worst deal ever negotiated"

Trump has called the pact both a "disaster" and "the worst deal ever negotiated" FM says not fulfilling its obligations under the pact would be "unwise" for the US

"Of course Iran's options are not limited but our hope and our desire and our preference is for the full implementation of the nuclear agreement, which is not bilateral for one side to be able to scrap," Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said.

President Barack Obama's outgoing administration touted the July 2015 deal reached between Iran and six world powers as a way to pre-empt Tehran's suspected drive to develop atomic weapons by curbing its enrichment of uranium.

In return Mr Obama, a Democrat, agreed to a lifting of sanctions on Iran.

Republican Mr Trump called the nuclear pact a "disaster" and "the worst deal ever negotiated" during his election campaign and said it could lead to a "nuclear holocaust".

The accord removed sanctions in return for Iran reducing the number of its uranium-enrichment centrifuges by two-thirds, capping its level of uranium enrichment well below the level needed for bomb-grade material, reducing its enriched uranium stockpile, and accepting UN inspections to verify compliance.

"Our strong preference as a party that has remained fully committed and implemented its side of the bargain ... is for every member and participant and for international community to continue to remain committed to the agreement," Mr Zarif said after meeting his Slovak counterpart Miroslav Lajcak.

"But it doesn't mean we don't have other options if the USA unwisely decides to move away from its obligations under the agreement."

When asked whether he hoped for a similarly good working relationship with Mr Trump's future secretary-of-state as he had with the outgoing John Kerry, Mr Zarif said it would not be necessary.

"We had a long nuclear negotiation between Iran and the United States. I do not expect another negotiation, certainly not on the nuclear issue, but nor on any other subjects so that I would need to establish a same type of contact with the new secretary of state, whoever that may be," he said.

Former US House of Representatives speaker Newt Gingrich — who has said he would renegotiate the nuclear deal with Iran, has been floated as a potential secretary of state under Mr Trump, according to political sources.
