Russia stresses full commitment to JCPOA implementation

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, May 26, IRNA -- The Russian Foreign Ministry announced that the country's representative in JCPOA joint commission meeting has reaffirmed Moscow's full commitment to implementing its obligations.

Full text of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation's statement follows:

'On May 25, the Joint Commission of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on Iran’s nuclear program held a special session in Vienna without the United States. The participants expressed their shared deep disappointment in Washington’s unilateral and groundless decision to withdraw from the JCPOA. The Russian delegation also noted that this step was a serious violation of the comprehensive agreements on Iran’s nuclear program as well as the UN Security Council Resolution 2231 (2015) and, in fact, deprives the US of all rights under the JCPOA. The consequences of the US decision for the further comprehensive implementation of all aspects of the JCPOA were discussed in detail.

Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Yukiya Amano spoke at the opening of the meeting. He reaffirmed that Iran is in full compliance with its JCPOA obligations. The members of the Joint Commission praised the agency for its professional, objective and impartial inspections in Iran.

The Commission reaffirmed the critical importance of preserving the JCPOA for maintaining international and regional security. Therefore, the commission plans to step up joint efforts to develop protective mechanisms against the potential impact of restored US extraterritorial sanctions against Iran in order to support normal international trade and economic cooperation with Iran.

The Russian delegation reaffirmed full commitment to implementing its JCPOA obligations, including assisting Iran in organizing the production of stable isotopes at the Fordo facility.

Iran proposed holding the next Commission meeting at the foreign ministers’ level.'
