Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki here on Tuesday called on Moscow to adopt "practical policies" in order to prevent imposition of unilateral sanctions.
He made the remarks during a press conference held at the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) headquarters.
Mottaki urged Russia to inform the West that it would break up its cooperation with the Western states on Iran's nuclear issue if they emphasize on unilateral sanctions against Tehran.
"Iran and Russia are two neighboring states. Russia is a major country and there are crucial developments taking place in the two countries' bilateral relations. Russia attaches importance to its ties with Iran, however, there are differences in the two countries' views regarding several issues," the Iranian FM reiterated.
On relations with Britain, he said the British government has had a hostile attitude towards Iran in the past two centuries.
Mottaki further denounced the British role in the political turmoil inside the country in the past one year.
He reiterated that London enjoys complicated relations with other world countries, underlining the need for establishment of Iran-Britain relations in a transparent atmosphere.
He announced that the Foreign Ministry is reconsidering the existing relations between Tehran and London.
