Sergei Lavrov: Moscow hears signals from the White House on a nuclear deal with Iran, so it is especially important to keep the agreements reached
On October 5, after a meeting in the White House with the US military, US President Donald Trump said that "this meeting could be calm before the storm." What exactly the president had in mind, he did not specify. Currently, Trump decides whether to break the nuclear deal with Iran. After meeting with the US military, he once again stated about Tehran's violation of the spirit of this agreement. "We must not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons," Trump said.
At the same time, commenting on the reports of the American media, the diplomat noted the following: "The opinion of the media is a very respected opinion for me, but, nevertheless, this is still a guess."
At the same time, the minister stressed that Russia regards the program on Iran as one of the most important achievements of the international community. He also expressed hope for a balanced decision of Trump's final decision.
Tehran and the "six" international mediators in July 2015 reached an agreement on the settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue. The parties adopted a joint comprehensive action plan, the implementation of which removes sanctions imposed from Iran earlier. The plan came into force on January 16, 2016.
