Iran Press/Europe: Mikhail Ulyanov made the remarks on Twitter in response to recent comments by Brian Hook, the US Special Representative for Iran.
The US Special Representative for Iran on Wednesday reiterated that maximum economic pressure on Iran would prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
“Because of our pressure, Iranian leaders have come to a decision: either negotiate with us or manage the economic collapse,” Brian Hook told reporters at a State Department special briefing.?
Ulyanov wrote on another Tweet that all Iran’s deviations from the nuclear agreement 2015 resulted from the provocative maximum pressure policy of the US.
Iran and the 5+1 reached a historic agreement in July 2015 to lift sanctions on Iran and to suspend some of its nuclear activities, but in May 2018, Trump unilaterally withdrew from the agreement and re-imposed sanctions.
