Moscow sees no threat to nonproliferation in Iran's steps to reduce its obligations as part of JCPOA

MOSCOW. Nov 8 (Interfax) - Iran's recent steps to reduce its obligations as part of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) pose no threat to non-proliferation, deputy head of the Russian Foreign Ministry's Department for Nonproliferation and Arms Control (DNAC) Oleg Rozhkov said.

"What Iran has done even as part of the latest measures of the so-called fourth stage does not affect its obligations as part of the NPT [Non-Proliferation Treaty] or the Safeguards Agreement," Rozhkov said, answering a question from Interfax.

He recalled that Iran was still under control of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

"So, all this is under control and verifiable," Rozhkov added.
