A diplomatic source told Sputnik Monday that the UNSC may convene to discuss adoption of the resolution on Iran's nuclear program as early as in July.

VIENNA (Sputnik) — A final agreement on Iran's controversial nuclear program must be approved in a UN Security Council (UNSC) resolution, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tuesday.

"If an agreement on Iran requires a UN Security Council resolution, there should be one," Lavrov said.

UNSC May Convene to Discuss Iran Nuclear Program Resolution Before August
Iran and the P5+1 group of international mediators, comprising Russia, the United States, China, France, the United Kingdom and Germany, have to reach a final deal until Tuesday that will secure the peaceful nature of Tehran’s nuclear activities in exchange for the easing of Western sanctions against the country.

The West has long accused Tehran of developing nuclear weaponry under the guise of a peaceful nuclear energy program. Since 2006, the UN Security Council has adopted several resolutions on Iran's nuclear program, four of which imposed sanctions against the country.
