MNA � Iranian ambassador to UK, Hamid Baeidinejad, said the agreement reached between US and North Korean leaders on June 12 has reduced the possibility of war between the two sides.


�One positive aspect of the agreement between the US and North Korea is that the possibility of war and military conflict between the two sides, escalated by Trump�s bellicose�remarks, which could have affected South Korea, Japan and China, and had caused great concern, has now been reduced,� the Iranian Ambassador to London, Hamid Baeidinejad, wrote in a piece on Wednesday.

Baeidinejad went on to add, however, that the agreement reached between US President Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un at the summit in Singapore is, at this stage, nothing more than an expression of commitment to reach an agreement in the future.

�The important thing here is the implementation of the commitments by the two sides, which have not taken place to this day,� he added.

According to the Iranian envoy, the joint document signed by Trump and Kim, under which�Trump has vowed to provide security guarantees to the DPRK, while North Korea�commits to �work towards� complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula,�is even �weaker� than the commitments already accepted by Pyongyang.

He maintained that the agreement has received widespread criticism from many organizations active in the field of international security and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons due to its �weak content�.

Leaders of United States and North Korea signed what Trump described as a �very important� document following the conclusion of their historic summit in Singapore on June 12.

The summit took place as Trump has recently withdrawn from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, a multilateral agreement that promised lifting of sanctions�against Iran in exchange of putting limitations on Tehran�s nuclear program.

Iran�s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ghasemi has warned North Korean leader not to trust Trump as the US has a history of �quitting treaties and violating their commitments.�
