TEHRAN (FNA)- South African Ambassador to Tehran William Max Philman Whitehead dismissed US President Donald Trump's allegations on Iran's assistance to terrorist groups, and underlined his country's support for the 2015 nuclear deal as a road that may not be reversed.
"The remarks about Iran claiming that the country supports terrorism or destabilizes the region are not acceptable to us at all," Whitehead said in an interview with Iran's state TV on Tuesday night.
Elsewhere, he described the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and the world powers as an "unreturnable" agreement, and said the Europeans have shown good support for the deal and made investments in different sectors in Iran after signing it.
Asked about hostile positions adopted by the Saudi officials against Iran in certain international meetings and its impacts on relations between Tehran and Pretoria, he said, "This issue leaves no impact on economic exchanges and relations between Iran and South Africa as both countries are independent and enjoy age-old ties."
In relevant remarks on Monday night, Russian Ambassador to Tehran Levan Jagaryan dismissed Trump's allegations about Iran's support for terrorism, and said, "Iran itself is a victim of terrorism and we have witnessed this at the country's Eastern and Western borders."
"At present, Iran is fighting against terrorism along with Russia and the Syrian government forces," Jagaryan further stressed.
He also warned that Washington's withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and the world powers would endanger not only the US but also the entire world.
"We stress that Iran has been 100% and fully committed to its undertakings. Therefore, we expect the US Congress and administration to remain in compliance with the nuclear deal as their withdrawal will endanger the US and the whole world, and will lead to negative events," Jagaryan said in an interview with Iran's state TV.
