“Iran’s third step towards refusing to comply with its nuclear deal obligations is particularly disappointing when its European and international partners are working hard to de-escalate tensions with Iran,” the ministry’s press release said.

The British Foreign Ministry expressed serious concern about Iran’s decision to remove restrictions on nuclear research and development.

Earlier, Iranian leader Hassan Rouhani announced his readiness to provide the parties to the nuclear deal two more months to reach an agreement.

September 4, Tehran announced the start of the third phase of the reduction of obligations under the JCPOA, which involves conducting research beyond the scope of the nuclear deal.

The orientalist Gumer Isaev, in an interview with the NSN, called Iran’s decision to suspend the fulfillment of part of its nuclear program obligations a reaction to aggressive US pressure.
