سياسة روسيا الاتحادية تجاه تطورات الملف النووي الإيراني ٢٠١٥ – ۲۰۱۹

Abstract EN

Iran's interest in uranium enrichment was of great importance that cast a shadow on the international and regional arena, as the great powers had to follow this file closely because of its dangerous repercussions on the Middle East in particular and the world in general.

The Russian Federation has tended to go along with the Iranian side in its nuclear program, and has not tried to pressure Tehran much for fear of worsening the situation with it, especially since the American position on the Iranian nuclear file was very strict and expressed real intentions that almost led to a clash between the two parties on several occasions.

However, Moscow was pushing for calm and adopting the method of dialogue and diplomacy in resolving the issue of Iran's nuclear program, which Moscow wanted to use for peaceful purposes only.

Indeed, international efforts were able to reach acceptable results, after which the nuclear agreement was signed in 2015, between Iran on one side and the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany on the other.

However, the election of US President Donald Trump, and his assumption of power in early 2017, was a stumbling block in the continuation of that agreement, which was greatly weakened by Washington's withdrawal from it in May 2018, and then Iran also abandoned its commitments to the agreement the following year.
