Russia, Iran Discuss Nuclear Programme

Iran coordinates with Russia to uphold nuclear enrichment rights amid European threats of UN sanctions, with bilateral trade rising 11% in the year's first half, officials said.

  • On Monday, Russia's Vladimir Putin spoke by phone with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, touching on Iran's nuclear programme ahead of Tuesday's talks in Geneva with Britain, France and Germany.
  • Facing threats from Britain, France and Germany to activate the `snapback mechanism`, Tehran disputes its legality and accuses Europeans of not honouring their commitments.
  • The leaders highlighted concrete ties including cooperation on the Bushehr nuclear power plant and an 11 percent rise in bilateral trade in the first half of the current year.
  • The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action , to which Russia is a party, provided Iran with sanctions relief for nuclear limits, and Vladimir Putin hopes negotiations on United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 yield positive outcomes.
  • Having suspended cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency earlier this year, Iran regularly coordinates with Russia and China before key nuclear talks.
