The Biden administration is not focused on securing a nuclear deal with Iran amid mass protests that have broken out across the country, U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price said Wednesday.

Price made the comment during a press conference in Washington when asked by a reporter whether the United States was still looking to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal amid mass anti-government demonstrations across the country.
