Moscow: We are continuing to cooperate with Iran despite US threats
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has affirmed that his country continues to cooperate with Iran despite US threats against Russia and China regarding the consequences of this cooperation.
“There are no threats that have actually been heard from Washington. In the usual American way, Russia and China should think about the consequences that will change our position,”
Sputnik news agency quoted Ryabkov as saying on August 20.
“ This will not affect our cooperation with Iran, and the United States cannot lead us on every occasion, and we are exclusively guided by our own interests as we understand them in various fields. We are guided by our obligations and international law,” Ryabkov added.
On the other hand, Ryabkov affirmed that the United States does not have legal or political reasons to talk about re-imposing UN Security Council sanctions against Iran.
Ryabkov stressed that it is regrettable that the UN Security Council is plunged into a very serious crisis as a result of Washington’s irresponsible actions.
