1st LD-Writethru: Syria condemns U.S. withdrawal from Iran nuclear deal

Xinhua,May 10, 2018 Adjust font size:

DAMASCUS, May 8 (Xinhua) -- Syria's Foreign Ministry on Tuesday condemned the U.S. decision to withdraw from Iran's nuclear deal, according to state news agency SANA.

It said the international reactions that condemned the U.S. withdrawal from the deal prove the "international isolation" of the U.S. and its mistaken policies that would increase the tension in the region and the world.

It added that the U.S. move proves again the lack of credibility and commitment by the U.S. to the international agreements.

The ministry stressed the Syrian government's full solidarity with Iran and voiced confidence in the Iranian ability to surpass the repercussions of the U.S. stance, "which affects the security and stability in the region and the world."

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, a landmark agreement signed in 2015.

In a televised speech, Trump announced the exit, adding he will not sign the waiver of nuke-related sanctions against Iran. Enditem
