UK urges Iran not to take 'further' steps after Tehran's reaction to US pressure
Tehran (KNA) - Britain has reacted to Iran’s announcement that it will suspend parts of its commitments under an international nuclear agreement in the wake of US unilateral pressure.
Mark Field, the junior minister responsible for Middle East affairs at Britain's Foreign Office, called Tehran's move "unwelcome," while addressing the British parliament on Wednesday.
Field said the UK had no plan to swiftly reciprocate Iran's decision, urging Tehran "not to take further escalatory steps."
"Today's announcement from Tehran is ... an unwelcome step," Field told the British parliament, adding, "We are not at this stage talking about re-imposing sanctions, but one has to remember that they were of course lifted in exchange for the nuclear restrictions ... Should Iran cease meeting its nuclear commitments, there would of course be consequences."
