“Russia, being one of the signatories to the agreement, is responsible for maintaining it as a factor of stability in the region ... We want Moscow to help persuade Iran to comply with the rules of the game in the upcoming talks,” said Meath.

He expressed the view that Russia could also use its influence to prevent escalation in Syria.

According to the German minister, despite the prevention of a direct military clash between the US and Iran, the conflict between them "hangs like a" sword of Damocles "over the region."

Earlier, France, Germany and Britain demanded that Iran fully comply with its obligations under the JCPOA.

The Russian Foreign Ministry, in turn, noted that Tehran’s decision to suspend its nuclear deal obligations was a necessary step against the backdrop of contradictions between the participants of the JCPOA.

On January 5, it became known about the last stage in Iran’s reduction of obligations under the JCPOA.
