Iran earlier on Wednesday announced steps that for now stop short of violating its 2015 deal with world powers under which it agreed to limit its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions. But it threatened more action if it was not shielded from U.S. sanctions. “President Putin has repeatedly spoken of the consequences of unthought-out steps regarding Iran and by that I mean the decision taken by Washington . Now we are seeing those consequences are starting to happen,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
“Russia and China fulfilled their obligations... but other parties, including the Europeans, have not been honoring their commitments,” said Zarif, saying his country’s retreat from certain aspects of the deal was legal and could be reversed.
