Iran's FM to dicsuss JCPOA revival with his Russian colleague in Moscow

Upon his arrival in Moscow, the Iranian foreign minister told correspondents that the window of dialogue was still open and the Russian and Iranian top diplomats would negotiate the return of signatories to the JCPOA commitments, per IRNA.

Amirabdollahian stated that Russia played an effective role in the new round of talks between Iran and the P4+1, held in Vienna, Austria, over several months, adding that Russian officials continue their efforts to pave the way for returning of the signatories to the JCPOA to their commitments.

As to the United States’ concern about Russia-Iran defence cooperation, he noted that Moscow and Tehran naturally put the defence collaborations on agenda, but the cooperation would not be against any third party.

The Iranian foreign minister was welcomed by the deputy director general of the Asia Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry as well as Iran’s Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali at the Vnukovo International Airport in the Russian capital.
