Iran Press/Europe: “President (Vladimir) Putin has repeatedly spoken of the consequences of unthought-out steps regarding Iran and by that I mean the decision taken by Washington (to quit the deal). Now we are seeing those consequences are starting to happen,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call.
Peskov was speaking as talks in Moscow between Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov got underway, Reuters reported.
Peskov said Russia wanted to keep the nuclear deal alive and that its diplomats were doing all they could behind the scenes in talks with European officials to try to save it.
Asked if Russia might be ready to join other countries in imposing new sanctions against Iran over its partial roll back on the deal, Peskov said: “For now, we need to soberly analyse the situation and exchange views on this. The situation is serious.”
Iranian President has announced that Iran has not and will not leave the nuclear negotiating table, and sincerely wants the nuclear deal to succeed, but the JCPOA needs major surgery to survive.'
President Rouhani said: "JCPOA is a win-win agreement and we want to keep it that way. We will never allow this agreement to be transformed into a win-lose agreement. Either we all win or we all lose from this agreement."
Iran has issued a stern warning to the European signatories of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) giving them a 60-day period to fulfil their obligations, promises and commitments under the JCPOA, and warning them that Iran's patience has reached its limit, and Tehran now expects to see the European signatories to the agreement implement their obligations. The warning was issued on the first anniversary of US abrogation of the multilateral nuclear agreement, JCPOA. 101/202
