Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Thursday called Iran's memorandum with the United States historical.
"This is a historic document and a message from a powerful Iran: peace will be achieved through mutual respect," Pezeshkian said on X. "The Islamic Republic of Iran remains committed and dedicated to global peace while preserving dignity, independence, progress, and regional cooperation."
Iran remains committed and dedicated to global peace, progress and regional cooperation, the president added.
The Russian side welcomes the signing of the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran aimed at ending their conflict, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
"We welcome the agreement reached on ending the military conflict between the United States and Iran, which was fixed by the presidents of the two countries," the ministry said in a statement.
It is important that all parties to the conflict follow the understanding reached by Iran and the United States and prevent a new escalation, the statement read, adding that Iran's confirmation of its commitment to obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is the best response to any attacks and unfounded accusations against it.
"We hope that the establishment of peace will help restore trust in relations between the states on both sides of the Persian Gulf, and the resumption of safe and unhindered navigation through the Strait of Hormuz," the ministry said.
Moscow is ready to continue providing diplomatic support to efforts for a long-term stabilisation in the Middle East, the statement added.
Earlier, Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei reaffirmed Iran's position that enriched uranium will not be taken from the country.
"We have said from the very beginning that enriched materials will not be taken from the country. One option is down-blending within Iran. This is not a new option," he said on Iranian television.
The diplomat made this statement after the announcement of the signing of a memorandum with the United States on ending the conflict, which is expected to be followed by negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program and sanctions against Iran.
