DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran's military capability has not been affected by its nuclear deal last month with six world powers, President Hassan Rouhani said on Saturday, moving to reassure hardliners that the deal was no sign of Iranian weakness.

"With regards to our defensive capability, we did not and will not accept any limitations," Rouhani said at a press conference carried on live television.
