Araghchi maintained that talks with the Russian deputy FM focused on political consultations on issues related to the Iran’s nuclear deal, the recent G20 summit, as well as the Astana peace process and the Syrian ceasefire.
The new US administration’s objection to the JCPOA was another topic of discussion with the Russian official, Araghchi added. According to him, the topic will be further discussed in the joint commission meeting on July 21.
Araghchi also noted Zarif’s participation in the UN meeting of the high-level political forum on sustainable development in New York slated for 17-19 July, as well as his attendance in several other political centers and think tanks including the US Council on Foreign Relations where the Iranian foreign minister will discuss current developments in the Middle East.
