Sputnik comes to you live from Moscow, where Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian are holding a presser following their talks.

Since 2021, Moscow has injected roughly $2.7 billion into Iranian oil projects. Also, the diplomacy chiefs are expected to bring up the much-talked-about JCPOA (Join Comprehensive Plan of Action) deal that placed restrictions on Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for economic sanctions relief.
