Russia said there are no signs of possible disruptions in implementation of Iran nuclear deal, noting that stakeholders are determined to continue their work.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said on the first anniversary of the implementation of the landmark agreement that he did not expect the tone of work to change after the US incoming President Donald Trump takes office in January 20.

The deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was signed in 2015 between Tehran and the six world powers (the US, Britain, Russia, France and China plus Germany) and came into effect in January 2016.

Under the agreement, the six world powers were committed to lifting sanctions against Iran and the country in turn agreed to limit some of its nuclear program in certain areas.

Ryabkov said Monday that most countries are sharing the Russian positive assessment of the implementation of the deal, and the work on this issue is expected to continue with the new US administration.

‘Everyone shared our point of view that there are no unsolvable and insurmountable problems in the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action,’ Ryabkov told reporters.

‘Overall assessment of the first year [of the JCPOA implementation] is definitely positive.’

The deputy foreign minister added that, although, there have been skeptical views, especially from some NGOs, there are no signs of possible disruptions in the implementation of the agreement and stakeholders are determined to continue their work.
