| With the US sealing a deal over Iran's nuclear programme, the Obama Administration has said countries like India and Japan have paid an economic price for sanctions against the Islamic republic and they may no longer feel obliged to do so if the pact is scuttled by the US Congress.
US National Security Advisor Susan Rice has argued that if the deal is not approved by the Congress, countries like India and Japan would no longer be obliged to enforce US sanctions against Iran.

"Countries like Japan and India that have paid an economic price to implement these sanctions would no longer feel the obligation to do so," Dr Rice told PBS News yesterday.
"Iran would say, look, we signed up for the deal, we're ready to do our part, but now, since there's no prospect of sanctions relief, we're going to pursue our nuclear programme unconstrained," she said.
"That would be a lose-lose situation. So it would be very unfortunate if the United States were the one to abrogate and therefore blow up a very good deal. And so, when the president said he would veto efforts to undermine this deal, he meant it," Dr Rice said when asked about the statement made by US President Barack Obama after the deal was made.
Led by the United States the so-called P5+1 countries - the US, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany - reached the landmark agreement with Iran after more than 20 months of intense negotiations, mostly held in Vienna or Geneva.
