TIL Desk/World/Moscow/ Moscow has a critical attitude toward the latest US statement on reviewing the Iran nuclear deal and will do all it can to resist any attempt to scrape the deal, Russian authorities said on Saturday.
Russia is concerned over the US announcement on holding negotiations with its European allies to revise the Iran nuclear deal, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters.
“These negotiations won’t have any effect on our approach towards the nuclear deal and this whole situation … We will be analyzing it in a most critical way and will continue to judge the events in an unflattering way,” Ryabkov said.
He underlined that the deal that was signed in 2015 between Iran, and the P5+1 – Russia, France, China, Britain, the United States, plus Germany, cannot be amended and that Moscow will “oppose any attempts to hamper it.”
US President Donald Trump on Friday said he will extend sanctions relief on Iran under the nuclear deal for the last time, threatening a US withdrawal from the pact if the US Congress and his European allies can not fix the alleged “disastrous flaws”.
