London: A landmark nuclear deal with Tehran does not represent an alignment with Iran, British Prime Minister David Cameron said in an interview Friday.
"By signing this deal, Britain is not aligning with Iran," Cameron said in an interview with news channel Al Arabiya, according to comments released by his Downing Street office.
"By signing this deal, Britain - with allies including America, Germany, France, Russia and China - what we're doing is taking Iran away from a nuclear weapon.
The US and Britain have been holding talks with regional allies such as Saudi Arabia and Israel since the accord was sealed in a bid to ease concerns over the move.
Cameron also vowed to remain "as tough as we've always been" on Iran over its close relationship with Syria and "support for terrorism".
