Russia warns Trump over Iran nuclear deal: 'US withdrawal will seriously aggravate situation'
Source: Independent
Russia has warned Donald Trump's administration not to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal - saying America's withdrawal would harm "predictability, security, stability and non-proliferation around the world".
The Kremlin warned that should the US leave the pact, Iran would be likely to quit the agreement as well.
President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters the US move against the nuclear deal would have "very negative consequences" and would "seriously aggravate the situation around the Iranian nuclear dossier."
He said Russia would continue its policy to ensure the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, Reuters reports.

This is actually being done at Putin's behest, just like he's delayed the actual implementation of the new sanctions. Who would benefit from this, Iran and their major supporter Russia. Who would lose - mainly us. Europe would sniff at this and go their own way, outraged by the US going back on it's word. So it's a double win for Putin, helps Iran, hurts us, puts more distance & distrust between our major allies and us.
