Oman says following up on U.S. withdrawal from Iran's nuclear deal

Xinhua,May 10, 2018 Adjust font size:

MUSCAT, May 9 (Xinhua) -- Oman said Wednesday it was following up on the U.S. decision to withdraw from Iran's nuclear deal, according to the official Oman News Agency.

The Omani Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that Oman will continue to follow up on the development and make necessary efforts available to maintain security and stability in the region.

The statement added that the option of confrontation is "not in the interest of any party."

Oman appreciates the position of other five partners in their commitment to this agreement, which will contribute to regional and international security and stability, it added.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that his country would exit the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, adding that the highest level of sanctions would be imposed on the Islamic republic.

The deal, reached between Iran and six powers including Britain, France, Russia, China, Germany and the United States in 2015, saw heavy economic sanctions slapped on Tehran lifted in exchange for its curbing of nuclear activities. Enditem
