"Iran is our partner," Naryshkin told reporters. "You were absolutely right to mention the agreement concluded by the Russian Federation; we intend to uphold every single one of its articles. As for cooperation between our intelligence services, I can confirm that the Foreign Intelligence Service maintains very strong ties and effective interaction with the relevant Iranian structures - a partnership that continues regardless of the circumstances."
