Russia's Kremlin says it does not want Iran to leave nuclear non-proliferation treaty

The Kremlin has expressed its desire for Iran to remain a part of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. According to the Jerusalem Post, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made this statement in response to comments from Iranian officials about Tehran's possible withdrawal from the treaty. The treaty commits Tehran not to develop or acquire nuclear weapons.

The Kremlin's stance was also reported by Ajel English, which stated that Peskov stressed the importance of Iran staying in the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and called for clarification on withdrawal remarks.

There were also reports about US President Donald Trump's activities, including his denial of reports that he was willing to ease sanctions on Iran in return for "concrete" steps over its nuclear program, as per The Guardian US. However, these reports did not relate to the Kremlin's statement on Iran's nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
