As noted in the Russian Foreign Ministry, the dialogue took into account the results of indirect contacts held in Doha between representatives of Washington and Tehran through the mediation of the European Foreign Service.

“Participants in the Russian-Iranian meeting expressed their commitment to maintaining the JCPOA, stressed the absence of an alternative to continuing multilateral efforts to revive the nuclear deal ... without “add-ons” and exemptions,” the ministry said in a statement.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Washington is trying to negotiate additional conditions in the negotiations on the resumption of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on the Iranian nuclear program, which hinders the restoration of the deal.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken admitted during a hearing in the US House of Representatives that maximum pressure on Iran did not help stop the country's nuclear program.
