MOSCOW, January 18 (Itar-Tass) — The West’s unilateral sanctions on Iran are aimed to provide a destructive effect on the population of the country, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told a press conference on Wednesday.
“Additional unilateral sanctions have nothing in common with the drive for ensuring the nuclear non-proliferation regime. This is seriously aimed at providing a destructive effect on the population of the country and the Iranian economy,” Lavrov stressed.
