FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Yuri Ushakov told reporters on Sunday that the US sanctions on Iran “run against international law and affect third countries.”
Moscow cannot accept that Russian firms and banks become the potential victims of such unilateral actions from the United States, the Kremlin aide warned.
The remarks come as President Putin is expected to hold a meeting with his US counterpart Barack Obama on the sidelines of the G20 summit in the Mexican city of Los Cabos on Monday.
Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov also noted on June 15 that Moscow is against the unilateral sanctions against Iran over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear energy program.
Ryabkov’s remarks echoed earlier comments made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during a press conference with his Iranian counterpart Ali Akbar Salehi in Tehran on June 13.
“Our stance regarding unilateral sanctions is clear. We are opposed to any unilateral sanctions,” Lavrov said.
The United States and some of its allies have imposed sanctions against Iran since the beginning of 2012, claiming that the country’s nuclear energy program includes a military component.
Tehran refutes the allegation, noting that frequent inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency have never found any diversion in Iran’s nuclear energy program toward military purposes.
