Director of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) says the 2015 Iran nuclear deal is likely to survive despite immense economic and political pressure by the United States against Iran and five other signatories of the landmark agreement.
Dan Smith, whose organization hosted Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif during his Sweden visit on Wednesday, said Washington – under President Donald Trump – was undermining an accord that was enshrined in a United Nations Security Council Resolution.
“I think what is clear is that the Trump administration has clearly rejected an agreement his predecessor came to, which is actually part of a UN Security Council Resolution that is binding upon all member-states,” Smith told Press TV on Wednesday.
“So it is questionable as to whether the United States legally has the right to withdraw from the agreement,” Smith continued.
He also pointed out Zarif’s second biggest gripe over Europeans’ inability to deliver their end of the bargain by protecting trade against US sanction.
