Russia Rejects Automatic Sanctions Return If Iran Cheats on Deal
(Bloomberg) Sangwon Yoon - "There can be no automaticity, none whatsoever," in reimposing UN sanctions if Iran violates the terms of an agreement to curb its nuclear program, Russia's UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin told Bloomberg News on Wednesday.
