TEHRAN, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on Monday discussed the Middle East issues and the Iranian 2015 international nuclear deal, Tasnim news agency reported.
The two ministers stressed their mutual commitment to the nuclear deal, also known as Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
Tehran scrupulously honors its commitments under it, as confirmed by the IAEA, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

Zarif and Lavrov also exchanged views on the current situation in the Middle East with an emphasis on exploring for ways to unblock crisis situations.
