Iran's nuclear deal with world powers is in danger of "falling apart" without the compliance of the United States and the European Union, Russia's foreign minister warned Monday after meeting with his Iranian counterpart in Moscow.
The 2015 deal between Iran and Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States lifted sanctions on Iran in exchange for limits on its nuclear program. The U.S. withdrew from the accord last year and imposed crippling economic sanctions that block Iran from selling crude oil abroad.
"Because of the destructive line that Washington keeps towing, this important achievement of international diplomacy... is in danger of falling apart," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, adding that "colleagues from the European Union" were not fully complying with the agreement either.
