Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Zarif said that he had to go to the “rough and non-diplomatic language” in conversations with the Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov about the nuclear transaction between Tehran and Washington. It is reported by the Persian service BBC News.
In an interview, Zarry argues that Moscow intervened in 2015 in Iran’s policy and accused her in an attempt to disrupt a nuclear deal with the United States. According to him, Russia initiated negotiations with Iranian General Kasem Suleimani to sabotage the deal Tehran and Washington ten days after signing the agreements.
Russia wanted to destroy the achievements of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Russians did not think that the deal would be held, “the minister said. He added that because of this, in negotiations with Lavrov, he had to be sad and use the inappropriate politics to vocabulary.
Zarif also claims that the normalization of relations between Iran and the West “not in the interests of Russia”, so Moscow tried to disrupt the transaction.
An hour after publishing an interview, the official representative of the Iranian Foreign Ministry Said Khatibzade stated that the post was edited by distorting the meaning of the words of the head of the Foreign Ministry.
On May 8, 2018, the administration of the then President of the United States Donald Trump was unilaterally out of a nuclear transaction with Iran and resumed economic sanctions against the country. In response in 2019, Iran announced the suspension of the fulfillment of two points of the transaction, but in February 2021 declared the desire to resume it. As a result, Tehran nuclear transaction agreed for 15 years not to enrich uranium to weapons in exchange for removing American sanctions from him.
