MOSCOW, October 17. /TASS/. Russia and Iran will continue their interaction after Resolution 2231 of the UN Security Council expires while honoring their national legislation and international commitments, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
"Cooperation between Russia and Iran in various spheres will be developed further in strict compliance with our national laws and international obligations," the ministry said.
"The Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty between Russia and Iran that was signed by the leaders in Moscow in January 2025 and came into effect on October 2, 2025 constitutes a solid basis for this," it said.
The Russian foreign ministry recalled that the ten-year term set by UN Security Council resolution 2231 for the adoption of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on the Iranian nuclear program expires on October 18.
"At this point, all provisions of resolution 2231, including restrictions and procedures, are to be terminated from this point on," the ministry explained, adding that the UN Security Council "must complete the consideration of issues linked to the Iranian nuclear program and the topic of nonproliferation is to be excluded from the list of issues under the UN Security Council consideration."
