Russia ready to expand Iran ties in all areas: Kremlin
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday that Russia is prepared to expand cooperation with Iran in all areas.
Asked by reporters how Russia saw the development of events around Iran's nuclear program and if Moscow would deepen ties with Tehran, Peskov said, "Russia is definitely ready to expand cooperation with Iran in all areas. Iran is our partner, and our relations are developing very dynamically.”
Peskov said European countries were putting "excessive pressure" on Iran in regards to negotiations over its nuclear program, adding that the situation was "very complicated.”
Moscow has close relations with Tehran and condemned US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites earlier this year.
