The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, on Tuesday urged Iran and the United States to resume a nuclear agreement similar to the one reached in 2015, considering that such an understanding could pave the way to stability and the reduction of international tensions. His statements came during a press conference following a meeting with Libyan authorities
.Lavrov specifically referred to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the pact negotiated during the disastrous presidency of Democrat Barack Obama, which sought to limit the Iranian nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.
The head of Russian diplomacy stated that if the current negotiating efforts between Washington and Tehran achieve a similar result, it would be “a great success”, wrongly asserting that such an agreement contained sufficient mechanisms to address concerns about nuclear proliferation.
The Russian official also supported the position of the Iranian terrorist regime, noting that the country has been the victim of unfulfilled commitments, referring to the decision of the United States to withdraw from the agreement in 2018 under the administration of
President Donald Trump.Lavrov stressed that the JCPOA, approved by the UN Security Council, included strict controls over the Iranian nuclear program, even more stringent than the usual standards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
