In recent talks with members of Iran’s parliament, Russian officials expressed their full support for the international nuclear agreement and called for the United States’ compliance with the deal, said a lawmaker.
They also reiterated that it would be unacceptable to make any changes to the accord, as requested by the US administration, Mohammad Javad Jamali told ICANA in an interview published on Saturday.
Jamali, who was part of a delegation visiting the Saratov region in southwestern Russia, said expansion of relations between the two countries, particularly in the economic field, featured in the talks as well.
Cooperation on agriculture projects was one of the main issues discussed with Russian officials, the lawmaker noted.
Jamali, a member of Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, added that the sides agreed to further utilize the potential of the Volga River to expand shipping services between the two countries.
The Volga River, which is the longest river in Europe, flows through Russia, including Saratov, and into the Caspian Sea.
According to him, the Iranian delegation also thanked the Russian government for its recent veto of a western bid for the United Nations Security Council to call out Tehran for its alleged role in the Yemen conflict.
