BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 15. Iran has very good
relations with Russia, and there is a very successful history of
cooperation between Iran and Russia on the nuclear issue, the
spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmail Baghaei, said
at a press conference in Tehran today, Trend reports.
According to him, an example of this is the Joint Comprehensive
Plan of Action (JCPOA) on Iran's nuclear program. Russia played an
important role in this plan.
Baghaei noted that the Russian side has repeatedly stated its
readiness to help advance the diplomatic process on Iran's nuclear
program. Iran has also welcomed this positive role of Russia.
"At this stage, it's necessary to wait and see how the future of
the talks between Iran and the U.S. will turn out, and whether the
two countries will reach an agreement on various issues. If an
agreement is reached on various details, it is possible to talk
about the nuclear issue," he added.
Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear
negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on
February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and
drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the
region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire
agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan's mediation.
However, during subsequent talks between the U.S. and Iran in
Islamabad on April 11, no consensus was reached.
