Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian will head to Moscow on Tuesday, reportedly to discuss its nuclear deal, his ministry said.

The moves come days after negotiations to salvage the Iran nuclear deal stalled amid new Russian demands.

"Russia has made its official demands loud and clear, and this needs to be discussed among all parties to the 2015 agreement, like all the demands that have been presented by other parties," foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh told reporters on Monday.

"The foreign ministers of the parties (to the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal) are in constant contact" and Amir-Abdollahian "will go to Moscow on Tuesday to continue the discussions," Khatibzadeh added.

The negotiations were halted after Russia on March 5 demanded guarantees that Western sanctions imposed following its invasion of Ukraine would not damage its trade with Iran.
