Peskov elaborated on Russian officials’ assessment of Pompeo’s condition on Iran, Russia embassy said in a statement.
Russia, Iran, UK, France and Germany have verified their commitment to Iran nuclear deal, he answered.
Moscow and European countries have repeatedly expressed hope for Tehran to stay in Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Peskov said.
