Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs commented on the US policy towards Iran

26 June 2019


The Information and Press Department of the Russian MFA has published a comment regarding US pressure on Iran.

 

 


It is stated, in particular, that Moscow has watched with the concern as the US has ratcheted up tensions around Iran for over a year.

 

 


At the same time, the Ministry emphasizes that the US demands from Tehran unwarranted concessions, including the de facto abandonment of its absolutely legitimate interests in international affairs, despite the fact that Iran’s nuclear activities are exclusively peaceful and fully supervised by IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency).

 

 


As noted in the message, "There is a new example of the constant US quest to dictate its will to sovereign states. Imagining itself the master of the fate of the world and adopting increasingly aggressive policies, Washington is quick to "punish" those who refuse to submit to American dictates".

 

 


The Russian MFA stressed that "Russia stands in full solidarity with the friendly people of Iran and its government", and that the US government "should consider where such a reckless course might lead", which could not only destabilize the Middle East but also undermine the entire system of international security.
