Russia’s Permanent Representative to the EU Vladimir Chizhov commented US President Donald Trump’s statements on the Iran nuclear deal.
According to Chizhov, they are aimed at blackmailing the European Union.
"It is difficult to consider Trump’s recent statements as anything other than an attempt to blackmail the European participants in the deal," TASS cited the Russian envoy as saying.
"They have been holding intensive consultations with each other and Tehran, Iran’s foreign minister has been here," Chizhove added.
At the same time, Chizhov stressed that Moscow did not see any reason for amending the JCPOA.
