Iran Nuclear Watch: Russia Continues to Oppose Iran Sanctions
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad clenches his fist during a public gathering in the city of Karaj, 21 miles (35 kilometers) west of the capital Tehran, Iran, Thursday, Sept. 28, 2006. A top European Union negotiator said Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2006 that ‘endless hours’ of talks with Iran about its nuclear program have failed to make any progress, while the Iranian president said U.N. sanctions would not stop Tehran from enriching uranium.
AP: Russia still opposes Iran sanctions
Russia’s foreign minister said Thursday that Moscow remains opposed to sanctions against
Iran in the dispute over Tehran’s nuclear program.Sergey Lavrov said in Warsaw that he will discuss the standoff with Iran in a meeting with his U.S., British, German, French and Chinese counterparts on Friday in London.
Imposing sanctions would be “extreme” and unconstructive, he said.
“I think that until all diplomatic possibilities have been exhausted, sanctions would be extreme,” Lavrov told reporters after meeting with his Polish counterpart, Anna Fotyga. “I think we need to do all we can to push Iran toward starting negotiations.”
Nothing new here. Russia has always opposed United Nations Security Council sanctions because of their business/commercia relationships with Iran.
The P-5-Plus-1 negotiations have been a FAILURE and the United States should withdraw their participation.
President Bush with new Congressional authority in the Iran Freedom Support Act should impose American sanctions IMMEDIATELY.
