"Russia has always been committed to the implementation of the JCPOA and firmly follows its obligations. We urge all participants to put aside the launch of a dispute resolution mechanism [under the deal] and focus on the main thing, which is to create an environment and prerequisites in order to work to preserve the JCPOA," the ministry said in a statement, adding that the point of no return had not been passed yet.
