Iran 's stance in nuclear talks legitimate/US should fulfill commitments: Lavrov
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Friday, in support of the Iranian stance on lifting sanctions and nuclear talks, called for a change in the US stance and the return to the international agreement (JCPOA).
According to The Russian News Agency TASS, talking to media, Sergei Lavrov, who was visiting Cambodia to attend the "‘ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Cambodia, said that now the Americans' plan is to modify the JCPOA , while Iranians emphasize the terms of the agreement reached in 2015.
I believe that Iran's position is quite legitimate, Sergei Lavrov added.
He pointed out that the issue is now that the Americans are trying to put a revised plan subject to a new agreement while the Iranians insist on the agreements signed in 2015.
Russia’s Foreign Minister said that Russia's position is also clear on the signing of an agreement to restore the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
