US decision to expand sanctions vs. Iran hampers basis for nuclear issue settlement

MOSCOW, February 11. /ITAR-TASS/. U.S. decision to expand sanctions against Iran is a direct way to destroy the foundation for settling Iran’s nuclear problem, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told journalists on Tuesday.

“If you mean the expansion of the list of sanctions (U.S. sanctions against Iran), we are definitely opposed to such steps. This is a direct way to destroying a healthy and positive foundation to settling Iran’s nuclear problem,” Ryabkov emphasized.
