Lavrov is against unilateral sanctions against Iran
As international negotiations continue with Tehran over its compliance with a nuclear oversight regime, Russia says it’s the wrong time for Washington to impose any new sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
Moscow expects US President Barack Obama to turn down new unilateral sanctions against Iran, which were passed by the US House of Representatives, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
Russia is anticipating positive results from a meeting in Baghdad for an acceptable resolution to the Iranian nuclear program, which has attracted the suspicions of several countries regarding Tehran’s true intentions.
