Tehran remains committed to working closely with Moscow and Beijing to find a resolution to the ongoing crisis surrounding its nuclear program, according to Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei.
“Both countries [Russia and China] have repeatedly emphasized their readiness to play a constructive role and contribute to diplomatic processes associated with Iran’s nuclear dossier,” the Iranian diplomat said at a weekly press briefing, News.Az reports, citing TASS.
“Even as there have been no specific proposals from them yet, the Islamic Republic of Iran always takes the support and positive attitude of China and Russia in this field into account, and cooperation continues,” he added.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry dismissed an Axios report alleging that Russian President Vladimir Putin called on Iran to agree to a zero enrichment nuclear deal with the United States as “a politicized smear campaign.” According to the ministry, Moscow has repeatedly emphasized the need to resolve the crisis around Tehran’s nuclear program exclusively through political and diplomatic means and expressed readiness to contribute to finding mutually-acceptable solutions.
