Russia has slammed U.S. President Donald Trump‘s decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal as a “flagrant violation” of international law.
“We are extremely concerned that the United States once again acts contrary to the position of most countries while pursuing solely its own narrow selfish and opportunistic interests,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
The statement says that the unilateral decision undermines confidence in the international nuclear agencies that implemented and enforced the deal, and who had assured Iran was fully complying with its measures.
The head of Russia’s International Affairs Committee, Leonid Slutsky, said that the move would create a “threat to international security,” according to RT.
Russian Senator Andrey Klimov pointed out that the betrayal of the deal, which was the result of long negotiations, would harm any trust that North Korea could bring to upcoming negotiations between the United States and Pyongyang regarding denuclearization. A deal promising repealed sanctions and non-aggression in exchange for denuclearization could be discussed.
