Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the conversation on Monday was of a very constructive nature adding that the two leaders shared an opinion on “the impermissibility of a political solution being dictated from the outside”. Both sides said any changes in Syria’s apparatus should be made through elections.

On the same day, President Putin signed a decree to lift limitations in Russia-Iran cooperation and to be equivalent to the master action plan on Iran’s nuclear program.

According to the decree, all bans and restrictions will no longer be applied to Iran’s exports, sale, transfer of materials, equipment, commodities, and technologies, financial and technological support and services, specialized training, and investment. The ban will also be lifted for Iran’s export of more than 300 kilos of enriched uranium in exchange for natural uranium and the upgrade of a reactor in Arak.

Putin was in the Russian president’s first visit to Tehran for eight years. After his meeting with Khamenei, he attended the one-day Gas Exporting Countries Forum. He also met with President Hassan Rouhani.
