STRELNA, St. Petersburg. June 6 (Interfax) - The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has not recorded any violations of the agreements over Iran's nuclear program, and the positivity of the difficult negotiating efforts of the past year should not be destroyed, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
"From the standpoint of control over its nuclear programs, Iran is today the most verifiable country in the world. These are not hollow words; this is what the IAEA management has been talking about. They have inspected Iran and haven't found a single violation in terms of the arrangements reached in the framework of the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action]," Putin told heads of foreign news agencies at a meeting on Thursday
"We support nothing of what is being done against Iran. We're discussing this with our partners, trying to persuade them that it is necessary to resort to measures that don't destroy the positivity, the hard work of the past years, and don't create anything long-term," Putin said.
"Yes, someone may be concerned by Iran's missile programs. But that's a different problem," he said.
