TL;DR

Moscow has welcomed the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, and expressed readiness to help promote further agreements, particularly on the nuclear issue, according to a statement carried on Telegram.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Russia has publicly welcomed the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, signaling a willingness to facilitate further agreements, with a specific emphasis on the nuclear file, according to a statement from the country that was carried on Telegram on Friday.

The statement makes Moscow the latest major power to offer public support for the MOU, following endorsements from Canada, France, China, Qatar, and NATO in recent days, as The Zioneer has reported. Russia's offer of assistance could be significant given its longstanding diplomatic engagement with Tehran, including its role as a party to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The precise wording of the Russian statement and the nature of the assistance being offered remain unclear, and it is not yet known whether Moscow has been invited by either Washington or Tehran to participate in follow-up talks.
