MOSCOW, June 16-- The U.S. attempts to force Iran nuclear deal participants to renounce their obligations and to punish Tehran by illegitimate initiatives, including the arms embargo, have no prospects from the point of view of international law, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tuesday. "We will use all the opportunities this international law provides to make sure that justice is served," Lavrov said during a news conference following talks with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif. The Iran nuclear deal, or the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was reached in 2017 between Iran and the P5+1, which is the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council -- the United States, Britain, Russia, France, China, plus Germany -- plus the European Union. |
