FOX News: North Korea says it won't do Iran-style nuclear deal with US

North Korea's government said Tuesday that it had no interest in pursuing a nuclear agreement of its own with the U.S. as long as Washington pursued what Pyongyang described as "provocative" U.S. policies.

The statement from the isolated, totalitarian country's Foreign Ministry was its first official response to the agreement concluded earlier this month between Iran and six global powers, including the U.S.

The unidentified Foreign Ministry spokesman said the North's nuclear deterrent was "not a plaything to be put on the negotiating table" in the statement, which was carried by the official Korean Central News Agency. There was no immediate comment form the U.S.
