Sputnik is live from Moscow where Russian Foreign Sergei Lavrov and his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif are holding a meeting to exchange their views on bilateral ties as well as international matters including the Iranian nuclear deal.
The meeting comes days after the Iranian nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), marked its fifth anniversary on 14 July.
