Russia Criticizes New U.S., EU Sanctions Against Iran
(Canadian Press) Vladimir Isachenkov - The Russian Foreign Ministry on Thursday sharply criticized new U.S. and EU sanctions against Iran, saying the sanctions - in addition to ones recently imposed by the UN - demonstrate the West's dismissal of Russia's opinion, and amounted to the U.S. and the EU "putting themselves above the UN Security Council." "Once we take significant effort and reach an understanding...on a set of carefully tuned sanctions on Iran, the U.S. and the EU don't stop at that and show their disregard to partnership with Russia," the ministry said.
