TASS - Russia understands Iran’s concerns over sanctions, but if finds worrisome Tehran’s intention to reduce its nuclear deal commitments, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the media on Tuesday.


"We are aware of Iran’s concerns against the backdrop of actions by some countries and the unprecedented and unlawful sanctions that are being applied to that country, but at the same time we are watching with alarm the way the situation is developing, because the collapse of this comprehensive plan spells nothing good," Peskov said.

Earlier on Tuesday, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said that Tehran would begin the next phase to reduce its nuclear program commitments as of November 6 by launching centrifuges in Fordow.
