Comments by Russia's deputy foreign minister
- US is deliberately raising tensions around Iran
- Says that US would rather impose new sanctions instead of seeking dialogue
It looks like Russia isn't going to turn its back on Iran and the remarks here are surely a firm indication of that. As an aside, top security advisors from Russia, US and Israel will be meeting in Jerusalem today but it looks like Moscow is making it clear beforehand that they won't be swayed to go against Iran.
