TEHRAN, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- The United States for the time being will stay in an international nuclear deal with Iran, local media cited U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley as saying on Sunday.

The report said the Trump administration wanted to weigh a "proportionate" response to Tehran's actions on the world stage.

"I think right now, you're going to see us stay in the deal, because what our hope is that we can improve the situation, and that's the goal," Haley said, referring to Iran's ballistic missile tests, international arms sales and state-sponsored terrorism.
