The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister said the aim of Iran’s proposed non-aggression pact to the Persian Gulf countries is to reduce tensions in the region.

The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister said that the activation of INSTEX would provide further trading opportunities for Russia.
Russian deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, has said that there is no reason for criticizing Iran for its missile program.
