TEHRAN – U.S. Senator Chris Murphy on Monday criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, saying no country has supported Washington’s effort to impose new sanctions on Iran.
“Last week, they briefed the Foreign Relations Committee on Iran nuclear sanctions since pulling out of the deal. Simple question was asked: how many countries have signed up for new sanctions on Iran? Answer: ZERO,” Murphy tweeted.
“The only viable reason to pull out of the Iran deal was to rebuild tougher sanctions so that Iran would eventually agree to a better agreement. But NOT A SINGLE COUNTRY has agreed to new sanctions. So why did we pull out of the deal?” he added.
