Russian Foreign Ministry’s Director of the Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control Mikhail Ulyanov said Moscow expects last year’s Iran nuclear deal to be duly implemented by all parties to the agreement, regardless of future developments.
“We expect that the agreements on the Iranian nuclear program will be implemented duly, regardless of how things will unfold,” Ulyanov told RIA Novosti on Monday.
Iran and P5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain and France, plus Germany) reached the landmark nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, in July 2015 and implemented it in January.
The comments came after the US Senate voted 99-0 to extend the Iran Sanctions Act for another decade. The bill had been passed by the House of Representatives almost unanimously in November, and congressional aides said they expected US President Barack Obama would sign it.
