Sigmar Gabriel
Foreign Minister of Germany Sigmar Gabriel stated that in the event of a US withdrawal from the agreement on the Iranian atom can start a new nuclear arms race. About it reports Reuters.
“There was a nearly tragic situation: the only existing agreement on prevention of proliferation of nuclear weapons is threatened — complained to Gabriel. — And just at a time when other countries such as North Korea acquire nuclear weapons, and us more than ever, we need such agreement.”
According to the Minister, Berlin agrees with Washington that Iran continues to pursue disruptive policies in the region. “However, I am convinced that neither the unstable situation in the region or Iran’s behavior does not improve, if the nuclear deal is broken, — said Gabriel, adding that the rejection of the agreement will demonstrate to all the futility of diplomatic efforts. — Since no one has illusions that the international negotiations are worth something, and reached the transaction will not be soon broken”.
Wednesday, September 19, speaking at a session of the UN General Assembly, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that Iran promises not to break the nuclear deal. “It will be a pity if this agreement will go to pieces because of irresponsible novices in the world of politics: the world will lose a wonderful opportunity,” he said. Rouhani also promised that in the event of breach by either party of Iran will act firmly and decisively.
In may, trump demanded that Iran immediately cease financial and military support of terrorists and all kinds of militias. According to him, the Iranian authorities provide diverse support to terrorist organizations “from Lebanon to Iraq and Yemen, Tehran has funded, armed and trained terrorists and other extremist groups that sow destruction and chaos in the region. This is a government that speaks openly about the mass killings, calls for the destruction of Israel and the United States.”
Iran and the six international mediators (USA, Russia, China, Britain, France, and Germany) reached in mid-July 2015 agreement on Tehran’s nuclear program and signed the AGREEMENT. The Islamic Republic pledged to restrict work in the field of uranium enrichment in exchange for lifting some sanctions.
