Moscow Opposes Iran Nuclear Treaty Exit as Tehran Threatens Regional Infrastructure

Moscow does not want Iran to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, as Tehran threatens to target infrastructure in the Middle East amid a diplomatic standoff with Washington.

President Donald Trump rejected a new plan put forward by Iran on the sidelines of United Nations meetings in New York.

Tehran, however, said it was still waiting for an official US response through mediators, leaving a distinction between Trump’s public rejection and the formal reply Iran says it expects.

The available details do not spell out the terms of Iran’s proposal or identify the mediators handling the exchange. Nor do they specify which infrastructure Tehran has threatened to target.

Russia’s opposition to an Iranian treaty withdrawal adds a separate nuclear dimension to the dispute, while the status of Tehran’s diplomatic initiative remains unresolved.
