“In the general situation, when obstacles still exist in our joint work, Iran and other members of the JCPOA should focus on our negotiations in Tehran. We have agreed that a new round of negotiations will be held soon,” the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister said.
On May 8, 2018, the United States withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and imposed unilateral sanctions on Iran. A year later, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Tehran would temporarily suspend the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal with the P5+1 group of powers (including the United States, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, China and Germany), giving these countries six months to complete the agreement.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov earlier held talks with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi. Both Moscow and Tehran hope that the situation surrounding the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) will stabilize soon.
