Analysis: Why Russia is the big winner of the Iran deal fallout
By Emily Tamkin Emily Tamkin Reporter covering foreign affairs Email Bio Follow May 8 at 11:17 AM Iran announced Wednesday that it would stop complying with certain elements of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, better known as the Iran nuclear deal, in 60 days if the remaining signatories did not find a way to make the deal more economically beneficial to Iran.
For one thing, the United States leaving the deal gave Russia the opportunity “to have its cake and eat it, too,” Rojansky wrote. “Moscow was a pivotal player in negotiating the original agreement, for which it enjoyed quite a lot of credit. . . . Now that the U.S. has pulled out, Moscow can blame Washington for its impending failure, part of its broader critical narrative about the U.S. in the Middle East and globally.
Zarif, in Moscow, contrasted the support he said Iran had received from Russia and China with that demonstrated by the nuclear deal’s European signatories.
