Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin discussed U.S. sanctions against Tehran and the future of the 2015 nuclear deal before negotiations to revive the ailing accord resume on Nov. 29.
The Tuesday phone call between Putin and Raisi followed a statement by China that it “reached a broad consensus” with Iran and Russia on the nuclear deal, without giving more details. The comments point to a united front between the three countries as world powers, including the European Union, prepare for indirect talks between Iran and the U.S. in Vienna.
