Tehran plans to continue cooperation with Moscow in implementing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) for the country’s nuclear program, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said at a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov on Saturday, APA reported citing TASS.


"We are very pleased that Russia has been supporting Iran within international organizations in accordance with international law, particularly as far as the Iran nuclear deal is concerned, and we will continue cooperation in the future," he said. "Taking into account the measures that might be taken and negative expectations concerning the behavior of some JCPOA members, our dialogue on this issue will be very useful, so we will continue dialogue and cooperation with Russia," the Iranian foreign minister added.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow is concerned about calls to review the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

"Today, we have a good opportunity to look into the situation surrounding the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which causes us great concern so we would like to hold a thorough discussion," Lavrov said.
