"We have an agreement that has the prospect of reaching a comprehensive agreement. If someone comes to torpedo (the agreement), I believe (the person or entity) should be isolated by the international community, whether it's theUSCongress or anybody else," Iran's Foreign MinisterMohammad Javad Zariftold a meeting of political and business leaders in Davos.
