Jhenaidah: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said that Iran has been ‘trapped by false promises,’ while commenting on ongoing US-Iran negotiations, according to Russia’s TASS news agency. Lavrov said Moscow views the US-Iran talks as involving ‘threats and pledges’ rather than concrete facts.
According to United News of Bangladesh, Lavrov highlighted Iran’s position, stating that they have been ‘trapped by false promises,’ referring to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. This agreement, signed under former US President Barack Obama, aimed to limit Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
The Russian foreign minister further mentioned that Moscow is keeping an eye on potential new talks in Pakistan, noting the rapidly changing situation. Lavrov emphasized that if current US-Iran negotiations lead to an agreement similar to the 2015 deal, it would be considered a significant achievement.
