Why it matters:
Despite years of international debate, Iran maintains its nuclear program is peaceful and not aimed at developing nuclear weapons.
What he's saying:
Mikail Ulyanov, in an interview with Izvestia newspaper last week, concerning Iran's 60% uranium enrichment: "We believe that it’s not uranium enrichment that poses a threat to nuclear non-proliferation but the failure of the main parties concerned to find common ground and move from ‘megaphone’ diplomacy to real diplomacy."
Context:
Iran continues to properly implement its safeguards agreement with the IAEA and remains the country that has undergone the highest number of inspections by the international institute.
Go deeper:
On March 14, deputy foreign ministers from Iran, China, and Russia - Kazem Gharibabadi, Ma Zhaoxu, and Sergey Alexeyevich Ryabkov - met in Beijing to discuss the revival of the JCPOA and negotiations for lifting sanctions on Iran.
