During an interview with IRNA published on Saturday, Ryabkov stressed that Iran has honored all its commitments to the landmark deal.
The JCPOA has so far had positive outcomes and Iran responsibly carries out all its commitments. Russia also abides to the responsibilities it accepted, he said.
While still campaigning, US President Donald Trumpthreatened to annul the deal, which he has lambasted as the worst accord ever negotiated and one of the dumbest ones he has come across.
While noting that there was no point in threatening Iran as history has proven that such actions are useless, Ryabkov stated that Russia does not agree with Trumps stance on the deal.
We do not share the USs stance and believe that the JCPOA was drawn up with very precise devices and balanced mechanisms. Taking these conditions into account, there is no room for worries over the JCPOA or its implementation, he added.
He noted that the new US administration will reach the same conclusion after scrutinizing the accord.

Under the agreement, Iran accepted to put limitations on its program in exchange for the removal of nuclear-related sanctions imposed against Tehran.
Trumps stance against the JCPOA comes while Washingtons partners in the P5+1 have thrown their weight behind the Iran deal. The EU has already said that it is in complete agreement with China and Russia over the necessity to keep the JCPOA alive.
