Assessment
Russia is publicly signaling restraint on Iran's nuclear deal posture, even as Tehran floats the option of leaving the NPT. This is the Kremlin trying to manage escalation before Iran crosses a line that forces everyone to react. Watch for whether Russia's quiet diplomacy produces any visible shift in Iran's public threats. The statement does not reveal any specific action Russia is taking.
