Russia Rejects Military Attack and Sanctions on Iran
Moscow, January 15 (KCNA) -- Gennady Gatilov, deputy foreign minister of Russia, in a press interview on Jan. 13 clarified the country's stand against any military attack and sanctions on Iran.

Noting that aggravation of the situation around Iran has been visible recently, he criticized the West for attempting to impose unilateral sanctions on Iran.

He said that the West's attempt undermines the international efforts to settle Iran's nuclear program.

"Additional sanctions against Iran, as well as a probable military attack on Iran will be doubtlessly taken in the international community as those pursuing the goal of power change in Teheran," he underlined.
