Russia's president backs JCPOA, rejects what's being done against Iran
Tehran (KNA) - Russian President Vladimir Putin has once again stressed the importance of preserving the multilateral nuclear agreement signed between Iran and major world powers in 2015, saying Moscow does not approve of "what is being done against Iran."
"We support nothing of what is being done against Iran. We're discussing this with our partners, trying to persuade them that it is necessary to resort to measures that don't destroy the positivity, the hard work of the past years, and don't create anything long-term," Putin said during a meeting with heads of international news agencies on the sideline of St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) on Thursday.
He added that Iran has fully complied with its commitments under the nuclear accord, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
