VIENNA (Sputnik) – Russia expects that the agreements reached last year on the Iranian nuclear program will continue to be duly implemented, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control said Monday.

Last week, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif threatened to suspend the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) should the United States renew sanctions against the country. "We regret that this issue arose. We expect that the agreements on the Iranian nuclear program will be implemented duly regardless of how things will unfold," Mikhail Ulyanov told RIA Novosti.
