MOSCOW, Russia — The head of Iran’s atomic energy organization, Mohammad Eslami, has arrived in Moscow for talks, Russia’s state-run RIA news agency quotes the Iranian embassy as saying.
The 15-member UN Security Council earlier opted not to permanently lift sanctions on Tehran, after three European countries launched a 30-day process last month to reimpose them, accusing Tehran of failing to abide by a 2015 deal with world powers aimed at preventing it from developing a nuclear weapon.
Iran denies having any such intention, and Russia says it supports Tehran’s right to peaceful nuclear energy.
Eslami is also Iran’s vice president. RIA does not say who he would meet in Moscow.
