MOSCOW (Sputnik) � Russia will make all possible efforts to ensure that the deal on Iran's controversial nuclear program is reached, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Saturday.

"I want to reassure you that Russia will do everything in its power, like before, so that the agreement, satisfying the Iranian side, ensuring Iran's rights in the nuclear sphere is reached," Ryabkov, who is Russia's envoy to ongoing Tehran nuclear talks, told journalists.

Russia is against unilateral sanctions and pressure on Tehran, according to Ryabkov.
