Aide to the President of the Russian Federation responsible for international affairs in the Presidential Administration Yuri Ushakov stated in a press conference on Monday that Russia supports the revival of the nuclear deal in its original format endorsed by United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231.
The Russian official also said that the purpose of the JCPOA’s revival is to guarantee Iran’s normal commercial and economic relations with the world.

The Russian official went on to say that Russia is planning to enhance relations with Iran to the level of strategic partnership, adding that a new agreement between Russia and Iran is being prepared, and during the tripartite Astana meeting in Tehran, a joint statement will be published by the three countries, the draft of which has already been prepared.
