Russia’s UN envoy blasts US attempts to create anti-Iranian coalition

An international ministerial meeting on the Middle East, organized by the United States and Poland, wrapped up in Warsaw on Thursday

UN, February 15. /TASS/. US attempts to create an anti-Iranian coalition will not help to solve numerous problems in the Middle East, Russia’s UN envoy, Vasily Nebenzya, said commenting on the US-led Middle East conference in Warsaw.

"This was an anti-Iranian meeting," he said. "The creation of such anti-Iranian coalitions will definitely not be conductive to solving the numerous problems of the Middle East."

An international ministerial meeting on the Middle East, organized by the United States and Poland, ended in the Polish capital Warsaw on Thursday. Commenting on the results of the forum, the Polish side said the Iranian issue was almost not raised during the talks, but statements on behalf of US official proved the contrary. US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said that Washington favored toughening international sanctions against Iran and stepping up other forms of pressure on the country.
