"MFA spox #Zakharova: #Russia is interested in returning implementation of #JCPOA into a stable and predictable channel, and creating conditions for normalising international cooperation with #Iran in economy, trade, scientific research, and technology, incl peaceful atom," the Russian ambassador to Britain quoted Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova as saying in a post on the envoy to London's Twitter page account.
Russia FM spokeswoman also said on Friday that her country expects that the talks on the return of the US to the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) will be successfully completed by the 6th anniversary of the deal on July 14.
Meanwhile, Zakharova said that no practical moves are seen from the US for now of abandoning its policy of pressuring Iran.
Iran has already held six rounds of talks with JCPOA participants known as the P4+1 with the aim of salvaging the JCPOA in the Austrian capital of Vienna. Tehran has insisted that it would resume full compliance with the deal after the full removal of the sanctions that the previous US administration under Trump illegally imposed on Tehran after its unilateral and illegitimate withdrawal from the JCPOA in May 2018.
It has already stressed that it would leave the Vienna talks if they take too long and if its legitimate demands as per the JCPOA are not met. Anyway, the other parties, especially the Europeans seem to be killing time as the new US administration is still sticking to the Trump-era sanctions.
Tehran has also said that it does see the sheer US return to the agreement as important when the sanctions are still in place. The current US administration has not yet fulfilled the promises Joe Biden made during his presidential elections campaigns to undo Trump's actions and return to the deal.
