Zarif, in Moscow for talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, said that Iran’s actions did not violate the original terms of the nuclear agreement and that there was now a 60-day period for diplomatic activity over its decision. “On May 4, the United States started to put sanctions on Iran back in place and these measures made it impossible to fulfill many of the pact’s points,” RIA cited Zarif as saying.
