“In the search for a political settlement and efficient anti-terrorist activity in Syria, Iran can play and does plan an indeed effective and important role in fight against terrorism,” the diplomat said in an interview with IRNA.

She added that Iran’s role in fight against terrorism was important not only for Syria, but for the whole region as well. The Russian diplomat also noted that an attitude to Iran, first of that of the US, “will bring neither peace nor tranquility in the region, will not make Europe more secure”.

US statements about its possible withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) signed among world powers and Iran poses a threat to the legal foundations of the present-day world, Zakharova said in an interview with the IRNA.

‘US authorities’ claim to withdraw from the JCPOA unilaterally is a threat to the international laws and security,’ Maria Zakharova said, adding that it will add nothing to international peace and security.

Russian diplomat added that the JCPOA is an agreement confirmed by the UN Security Council, so it is irrevocable.
