Iran warns N. Korea: US known for quitting treaties, violating commitments
Spokesman for Tehran's Foreign Ministery says Kim Jong-un should approach summit with President Trump with 'awareness'; Netanyahu wishes Trump and the US 'maximum success in their efforts to prevent nuclear danger.'
Iran advised North Korea on Monday to be wary of negotiating with US President Donald Trump following his withdrawal from the landmark 2015 nuclear agreement.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi said that North Korea should approach this week's summit with Trump with "awareness."
He said Iran viewed Trump and the United States with "great pessimism," saying they were known for "quitting treaties and violating their commitments."
Trump withdrew the US from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which the Obama administration had reached with Iran, Britain, France, Germany, China and Russia. The agreement required Iran to curb its uranium enrichment in exchange for relief from international sanctions.
Trump has announced the restoration of US sanctions, while European leaders are trying to preserve the deal.
The US president is set to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, wished Trump and the United States "maximum success in their efforts to prevent nuclear danger."
"This is the same effort we've undertaken, and which I discussed with the leaders of Europe," Netanyahu continued. "We'll act like this in any case, as we are acting to eventually remove Iran from all of Syrian territory."
