Russia Supports Iran Sanctions, But with Limits
(Washington Post) Michael D. Shear and Glenn Kessler - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev told President Obama Thursday in Prague that there remain limits to his country's support for sanctions on Iran. Officials said Medvedev offered a broad range of objections to sanctions, including actions that would create economic hardship for Iran, foment financial chaos or lead to regime change. White House officials said Medvedev described for Obama the "red lines" that Russia could not cross. They also said that sanctions on Iran's energy sector are "not off the table."
