FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Rybakov reiterated Kremlin’s stance on such restrictions in a Wednesday meeting with the US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul.
The top Russian negotiator in the talks over Iran’s nuclear program expressed concerns over Washington’s persistence in slapping new sanctions against the Islamic Republic, given the complicated conditions surrounding the case.
Russia has opposed the US-spearheaded economic and political pressure against Tehran, saying it is impeding a negotiated solution to the West’s standoff with Iran and the country’s talks with the P5+1 (Britain, China, France, Russia and the US plus Germany).
Rybakov’s remarks echoed those made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who criticized the European Union’s last month decision to impose a ban on Iranian oil exports to the bloc.
“Unilateral sanctions do not help matters,” Lavrov said on January 23. “We will restrain everyone from making harsh moves. We will seek the resumption of negotiations.”
He had earlier described the additional unilateral sanctions against the Islamic Republic as having “nothing to do with” a desire to ensure the nation’s commitment to nuclear non-proliferation.
“It is seriously aimed at suffocating the Iranian economy and the well-being of its people, probably in the hope of inciting discontent,” the Russian minister pointed out.
The United States, Israel and some of their allies accuse Tehran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear program, using this pretext to impose sanctions on Iran and threaten the country with military attack.
Iran has refuted the allegations, arguing that as a committed signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful use.
The IAEA has never found any evidence indicating that Tehran’s civilian nuclear program has been diverted towards nuclear weapons production.
