The latest unilateral U.S. and EU sanctions on Iran indicate a disregard for the joint work in the Iran Six and the UN Security Council's principles, a Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Tuesday, RIA Novosti reported.
"We have repeatedly said that we consider unacceptable the practice of using unilateral or collective sanctions on Iran, which are not consistent with the UN Security Council's sanctions," Andrei Nesterenko said.
"It not only undermines our joint efforts toward a political-diplomatic solution to Iran's nuclear program, but also demonstrates a disregard for the thoroughly though-out and coordinated points of the UN Security Council resolution," he added.
