MOSCOW: Russia called for the resumption of the Iranian nuclear deal in the configuration of 2015

 Russia is in favor of restoring the nuclear deal on Iran in the configuration that was approved in 2015 by a UN Security Council resolution, Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov said during a briefing on Monday.

"Russia stands for the restoration of the nuclear deal in the configuration that was approved in 2015 by UN Security Council resolution 2231. The goal, of course, is to remove restrictions on Iran's normal trade and economic interaction with the outside world. Moscow will continue its efforts in this direction," Ushakov said.
